I am very grateful that Royal Selangor Pewter provided free WiFi so that the live updates for the tournament was possible. I wish I could have had better updates such as videos and game excerpts but that was impossible since I was also playing in that tournament. With hindsight, I would definitely not play. Blogging about the event and analysing the top boards would have been more fun
. It was also good to finally meet fellow chess bloggers at the event.
Also, it was a nice experience playing 5 rated opponents in one tournament. It’s definitely worth the full RM 60 entrance fee charged for this event. Although I must say the playing experience is wasted on this patzer.
Internet connectivity is important. The next big tournament is National Closed at Wilayah Kompleks and there is no free WiFi there except at Restaurant Bruharry which is 5 minutes walk from the tournament hall. I would definitely like the same experience as I have had at Selangor Pewter – blogging live from the event.

I just noticed that another chess blog, HairulovChessManiacs has had a Page Rank improvement. Previously it was Google Page Rank 1/10. Now it is PR 2/10. Does not seem like much of an increase but in chess terms it’s like a rating jump from 1500 to 1800. It’s a whole new class
In fact I’m sure he’ll go up to PR 3 soon as this is one heck of a hard working chess blogger.
