Many sport activities have been held and organized today all around the country. Among them is a chess tournament known as Chess PeBT For All Tournament. It was held in Section 18, Shah Alam. Even though all the three of GiLoCatur's children were not at home, GiLoCatur planned to take part. But since feeling not very fit GiLoCatur cancelled the plan.
So, how is the results of the tournament? Like in most of local chess tournaments, there are three categories in the tournament - Open, Under 19 and Under 12.
Below are the Top 10 Final Ranking and several photos of the tournament.

Kamaluddin or fondly known as Abang Bro among the Malaysian chess circle was placed 9th with 4.5/7 points while Kim Yew was placed 4th with 5.5/7 points. The first Runner Up went to Syazwan Zulkifli. Both Kamaluddin and Syazwan opted not to take part in the UPSI chess open which is also being held today and tomorrow.
For information, both Kamaluddin and Syazwan are the Top 3 winners on the UPSI chess open. The former was the 1st Runner Up in the second edition in 2008 and the 2nd Runner Up last year while the later was the 2nd Runner Up in 5th edition in 2011.
