I come from the small town of Teluk Intan (Perak) and back when I was schooling, chess was magical.

I remember how our small chess club started. It was started by my math teacher who just announced to anyone who was interested to bring a chess set to the library meeting room. About 10 students turned up and that was the beginning of our modest chess club. The school later purchased some diplomat chess sets and elected some club committee members to maintain the chess club. We had weekly playing sessions and introduced ladder challenges where you can challenge someone say ranked 11 and if you beat him, you take his place and he took your place. Simplistic but it was fun. Since my school was a boys-only school, the highlight of the year was actually organising a chess challenge against the girls-only Convent school nearby.

Back then we kept track of local chess via Quah Seng Sun’s weekly column and Petak 64 (and for a brief time NST chess column written by Peter Long). Every week the latest article was pasted on our chess notice board in front of the school. We got to know famous local players such as Kamal Abdullah, Ahmad Muzaffar Mustapha, Chu Kin Nyan, Peter Long, Audrey Wong, Ong Hwa Lu, Seto Wai Ling, Jimmy Liew, Gregory Vijayendran, Eric Cheah, Ng Ek Leong, Ng Ek Teong, Tham Tick Hong, Colin Madhavan, etc. Any active chess club members know of these names but we’ve never had the chance to meet any of these ‘legendary’ names as our chess activity confined within our small town. We never got to play in KL where most of the chess action was at the time. You can imagine what a big deal it was when I got to play in a simul vs IM Jimmy Liew and got autographs from Audrey Wong, Peter Long, Francis Chin and Jimmy in the same tournament.

I say the magic is gone because 20 years later, I’ve met some of these famous names and find that they are just regular people who are exceptionally good in chess at one time or other. I wonder if youngsters today have any local chess heroes? Perhaps today’s chess heroes/idols are Nicholas Chan, Lim Yee Weng, Mas etc.
