World Youth Olympiad 2002

The Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF) organised the World Youth Olympiad (U16) which took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 20th-28th August 2002. 2nd seeds China A took clear first on the back of an 85% score on board 1 by Wang Yue and an 80% score on board 2 by Zhao Jun. Top seeds the Ukraine finished second but could be said to have underperformed with IM Alexander Areshchenko scoring only 60% on board 1 and soon to be confirmed GM Sergey Karjakin losing a lot of points on board 2 with a 75% (performance rating of about 2373) score. Natalia Zdebskaja scored 81.3% for them on board 3. 7th seeds Indonesisa took 3rd place and 4th seeds India finished 4th. Overperformances were achieved by 11th seeds Uzbekistan (5th) and 17th seeds Singapore (9th). 5th Seeds England (13th) and 3rd seeds Romania (6th) performed less well.

+ Chance to go to Dresden By GilaChess 11 May 2008 at 7:27 am and have No Comments

Noelle video

Yep. That’s Dresden, Germany. Beautiful isn’t it?

IceBreaker download That’s where the 38th Chess Olympiad will be held.

How to get there? Why, play in the coming National Closed 2008

The Final Terror video

of course !!

As comparison, National Closed is not as attractive as the Selangor Open because there is no prize money. However every 2 years when the Olympiad is held, there will be the strongest chess players fighting it out for the chance to represent the country – prize money or not. There lies the attraction of the National Closed – a chance to go overseas to play chess for the country and also the coveted title of National Master Empire of the Sun download .

So who wants to go to Dresden?

+ Tse Pin&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;s wedding dinner By GilaChess 11 May 2008 at 1:53 am and have 1 Comment

IA Lim Tse Pin is by now a face very familiar with any Malaysians who have anything to do with chess.

Tonight was his wedding dinner and I got the opportunity to attend it. My only comment is that It’s about time !!

Tse Pin has been pretty selfless in his work for Selangor Chess being instrumental in organising tournaments, being an arbiter, training/coaching etc I’m surprised he has any time for his personal life.

Wishing you a love-filled Wedded Life
