Pertandingan Catur Berpasukan UM Ditunda!

GiLoCatur terima emel dari penganjur UM seperti di bawah tentang postponement Pertandingan Catur Berpasukan Tun Syed Zahiruddin. Selain itu, Pertandingan catur D'Laguna Kelang juga ditunda ke satu tarikh yang akan diberitahu kelak.

Hi..Sy pengarah projek catur ni...Sy nak buat 1 pengumuman kat blog ni ye..

Di atas permintaan ramai berikutan pertindihan tarikh pertandingan ini dgn kejohanan Catur MSSM (14-20 Mac) & kejohanan Kebangsaan Wanita & Lelaki (20 - 24 Mac), dan atas nasihat Mr Hamid (arbiter dr MCF), pihak kami telah menunda tarikh pertandingan kepada 29 Mac 2009 (Ahad). Segala kesulitan amat dikesali. Harap maklum ya

(nota: maaf lewat post sebab baru baca emel). 

MSS Selangor Chess Championship - First Day

PP has a very strong player for L18 category. Its champion, Joshua Panir Selvam, won all his games so far. PP has very good chance to win this category. Bukhari could not continue his winning streak in the first two games in Round 3 and 4. So, he has four points so far. Azwan Ansori also just managed to win two games. He lost to Geeneish a/l Sivalingam, the other favorite player,  from Kelang in Round 2. Going to Round 4, the last team member of L18 for PP, Eng Pi Zern, won a game and lost the other two.  

There is no one player familiar to GiLoCatur in P18 category. If not mistaken, Rabiatul Adawiyah Wahid was a dominant player in last year's tournament. Petaling Perdana seems not so strong in this category.  By the way, hopefully they manage to get good results tomorrow. The players for PP team are Musfirah Ghafarullahhuddin, Atiya Najiyah Ahmad Kamal, Choong Sy Ying and Hazirah Mohd Zailani.

Both Mohd Nabil and Mohd Syakir are dominating the L15 category. Two Kelang players are the other two players who have perfect 3 scores going to Round 4. PP's champion Low Jun Jian is following not far. He drew with his younger brother, Low Jun Keat in Round 3. GiLoCatur's son, Fikri, succumbed to a defeat to a Sabak Bernam player in the first round. He managed to win all the next three rounds. So he has 3 points thus far. Muhd Iskandar, the other PP's player, could not manage to win his fourth round. He lost to a Petaling Utama's player. He has two pints so far.

Winnie Hong is smooth crusing to victories. She will face her tough challenger Amira Syahmina tomorrow morning. Her sister, Vickie Hong, was upset by Gombak player, Nur Madhiatul Husna in the first round. Their other teammates, Nur Fariha Jamri and Nurul Adlina scores 2 and 1 1/2 points each going to Round 4. GiLocatur does not have the results for the fourth round.

Yeoh Li Tian from Petaling Utama is dominating L12 category. His two other teammates, his elder brother Li Yuan and Roshan, are the other players who won all games until Round 3. Roshan won againts Mohd Irfan Haqqim from Kuala Langat, who is another perfect scorer going to Round 3.

While for Petaling Perdana players the results are not so bad. Irfan Rendrawan and Affan Amrish managed to win three games each. Irfan lost to Li Tian whereas Affan lost to Irfan Haqqim in Round 2. Both Aminur Nirza and Ihsan Syahiran lost their Round 4. They both have two points going to Round 5 tomorrow morning.

Going to Round 4, both Azman daughters, Nabila and Najiha, are among the four P12 players who score perfect games. The other two are Fatin Afiqah from Sepang and Ee Sun Xin from Petaling Utama. Puteri Rifqah drew with her younger sister in Round 3. 

As for Petaling Perdana, Anis is still leading her team with 3 points. She succumbed to a defeat to PU player in the first round. Nur Faqihah lost to Puteri Munajjah in Round 4 on board 4. She has two points. Nurul Hana won her Round 4 game to score 2 and 1/2 points. While Reshara managed to win Round 4 game. In Round 2, she had to face her team mate Nurul Hana.

HOPEFULLY, PETALING PERDANA SQUAD WILL WIN MORE GAMES TOMORROW IN THE SECOND DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT. IN THE THIRD DAY, TEAM EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE. PETALING PERDANA HAS BRIGHT CHANCE TO WIN THE TOP THREE IN MOST OF THE CATEGORIES.

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.

Di bawah adalah link mengenai Pertandingan Catur MSSD yang GiLoCatur temui.
