Artikel Catur di Akhbar

Sumber : Laman blog Hairulov 

Sewaktu browsing laman blog Hairulov, GiLoCatur terbaca tentang posting artikel mengenai anak-anak GiLoCatur di Sinar Harian hari Rabu 18 Februari 2009. Pada hari yang sama artikel mengenai anak-anak Azman juga keluar di akhbar Kosmo. Ini sangat bagus untuk sukan catur di negara ini. Diharap artikel-artikel tersebut akan menjadi pemangkin kepada kemajuan sukan catur di negara ini. 

Sebenarnya, pada hari tersebut GiLoCatur telah membeli akhbar-akhbar Kosmo dan Sinar Harian, yang sememangnya GiLoCatur beli hari-hari, di awal pagi sewaktu menghantar anak bongsu ke sekolah agama. Tetapi GiLoCatur tidak baca terus akhbar-akhbar tersebut. Sewaktu isteri GiLoCatur membaca Kosmo beliau terbaca artikel tentang Nabila dan keluarga Azman Hisham. GiLoCatur kemudian publish mengenai artikel tersebut dalam laman blog ini. Dan sewaktu browsing laman blog Hairulov, didapati beliau lebih awal telah posting mengenai artikel Nabila. Baru GiLoCatur tahu tentang artikel anak-anak sendiri di Sinar Harian di shoutbox laman blog Hairulov.

Terima kasih kepada blogger Hairulov yang scankan artikel tersebut dan publish dalam blog beliau.

Satu lagi perkara mengenai NM Edward Lee yang tidak kelihatan dalam Kejohanan Catur MSSD Petaling Utama. Rupa-rupanya kehilangan beliau dari pertandingan tersebut adalah kerana beliau menyambung belajar di ASCI Singapura.

TAHNIAH PASUKAN CATUR SK BUKIT JELUTONG

GiLoCatur baru saja update blog catur SKBJ Chess Club. Agak lambat sikit kerana GiLoCatur agak sibuk last few days ni. In fact, sewaktu menulis entry ini GiLoCatur masih berada di Labuan kerana urusan pejabat. Pagi nanti akan pulang ke Shah Alam menaiki flight pada pukul 8:10 pagi transit di Miri. 

Pasukan catur SKBJ sangat cemerlang di pertandingan peringkat daerah pada 16 & 17 Februari yang lalu. Pasukan lelakinya telah memenangi ke empat-empat tempat teratas dan akan mewakili daerah Petaling Perdana ke pertandingan peringkat negeri Selangor. Kedua-dua pasukan lelaki SKBJ telah mendominasi tempat Pertama dan Kedua.

Bagi pasukan perempuan pula, pasukan A telah berjaya mengungguli sebagai Johan. Sementara pasukan B pula hanya kurang 1 mata untuk mendapat tempat empat terbaik. Dua orang pemain pasukan A, telah berjaya mendapat tempat Pertama dan Keempat. Ini bermakna, enam pemain catur SKBJ akan mewakili Daerah Petaling Perdana ke peringkat negeri. Sila ke laman Kelab Catur SKBJ untuk mengetahui keputusan lebih lanjut.

Minggu hadapan, tumpuan GiLoCatur akan ke pertandingan peringkat negeri Selangor di Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi pula. Kedua-dua anak GiLoCatur telah berjaya di peringkat daerah. Alhamdulillah! Semoga mereka akan terus cemerlang dalam sukan catur sehingga ke peringkat paling tertinggi.

SALUTE GURU-GURU!!

Memang tidak dinafikan golongan guru memainkan peranan yang sangat penting dalam memajukan sukan catur di negara ini terutamanya di peringkat sekolah. Di antara contoh terbaik ialah Allahyarham Cikgu Rahman, bapa kepada pemain utama catur negara Mas Hafizul. Jasa guru-guru ini perlu dihargai dan diberi perhatian. 

GiLoCatur tertarik dengan dua orang guru di Kelantan yang mempunyai laman blog catur sendiri. Ini menunjukkan bahawa mereka mempunyai minat yang sangat mendalam dalam catur sehingga mengorbankan sebahagian masa mereka dengan melatih anak-anak murid mereka. Diharap mereka akan terus memberi sumbangan dan jasa melatih anak-anak bangsa bermain catur semoga Malaysia lebih cemerlang di masa hadapan.

GiLoCatur telah menambah link laman-laman blog mereka. Semoga mereka berdua akan terus blogging dan meriahkan blog-blog catur tempatan. Teruskan usaha melatih anak-anak bangsa dengan catur.

(nota: GiLoCatur difahamkan salah seorang daripada blogger tersebut iaitu masterchess91 bukanlah seorang guru, tetapi seorang pelajar lepasan sekolah yang sedang menunggu keputusan peperiksaan SPM. Walaupun beliau bukan seorang guru tetapi effort beliau melatih pemain-pemain catur sekolah di Kelantan untuk pertandingan catur MSS amat bagus sekali. Syabas dengan usaha beliau tersebut. Semoga lebih ramai yang boleh mencontohi beliau. TQ Badbishops for the correction.)

MSSD PETALING PERDANA (SECONDARY SCHOOLS) CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP

MSSD Petaling Perdana chess tournament had just completed yesterday. It was a two-day event held at SMK SSAAS (Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah) in Section 2, Shah Alam. The 8-round tournament was held in Dewan Tun Sri Lanang of the hosting school. Three rounds had been played on the first day which was on 10th February whereas the other five had been carried out on the second day, Wednesday 11th February.

The tournament is divided into four categories - Boys 18, Girls 18, Boys 15 and Girls 15. Boys 18 category attracted the most participants. 169 players from more than 4o schools took part for the category. Boys 15 category follows with 121 participants from 32 schools. The girls category had lower participants where Girls 18 had 84 players from 25 schools while Girls 15 just had 75 players from 22 different schools. 

The lower participation from girls shall be studied since most schools are co-ed. Is it girls do not (and can not) play (or have interest) chess as the boys? Or is it the girls are more focus on their studying than the boys? GiLoCatur hopes the relevant authority and parties like Jabatan Pendidikan, PPD and schools will look into this matter seriously in order to bring back the glory in Malaysian schools co-curriculum, sports in the country and provide opportunities for our young generation to develop their capability, skills and talent. GiLocatur also challenge all the girls in Malaysia to excel in all aspects of co-curriculum similar to the boys. 

And below are the winners for each category. The top four winners from each category will represent Petaling Perdana District in the next Selangor (state-level) Chess Championship to be held in Sepang from 23rd to 26th February.

Below are some of GiLoCatur's observation on the results of the MSSD Petaling Perdana (secondary schools) tournament.

• There are few sibblings among the winners especially to represent the PP District - Low Jun Jian and Low Jun Keat (Boys 15), Winnie and Vicky Hong (Girls 15), and M Bukhari (Boys 18) and Nurul Adlina (Girls 15)

• SMK Bukit Jelutong has strong Under 15 teams while SAM TTAJ has strong Under 18 teams

• SMK Bukit Jelutong Girls 15 team is so dominant where all its team members are among the top 10 winners

• SMK SSAAS has strong Girls teams whereas SMK USJ 12 has strong Boys teams

• SAM Bestari has strong teams in all categories except Boys 18

TAHNIAH! to all the winners. GOOD LUCK! to all players who will represent the PP District in the state-level chess championship. For those who are not among the winners list, DO NOT GIVE UP. LEARN and PRACTICE MORE. BE SERIOUS IN CHESS. DO NOT JUST PARTICIPATE TO GET THE CERTS. BECAUSE CHESS HAS LOTS OF BENEFITS AND WILL HELP THEM IN THEIR STUDYING.

GiLoCatur also hopes that the school chess club teachers will be more serious in their school chess teams by providing chess facilities and programs, chess coaching and practices and chess tournaments experiences.
