This is only the 3rd country outside of Malaysia I’ve ever visited other than Indonesia and Philippines. When I first reached Ho Chin Minh airport, I was surprised to see the World Youth Chess Championship logo displayed prominently in the airport itself.
007 Dr. No dvd The first people I met were quite friendly too. They were volunteers from universities (much like GACC over here) who were helping out by greeting the foreign players/delegates and arranging transport to the various 16 hotels in Vung Tau. I had to wait for 4 hours so my transport but it was not too bad having spent most of the time talking with the volunteers.
download The Breed dvd After that it was another 3 hours from Ho Chin Minh city to Vung Tau which was 120km away. What struck me most was that throughout the trip there were houses and shophouses on both side of the road all the way.
Today is the first day I get to be in the playing hall at the Sports and Gymnastic stadium. Arriving at the hall at 2.30pm it’s very hot. The stadium is air-conditioned but I guess the heat still gets in. After about a few hours at around 4-5pm it is more cooling and pleasant.
The Telling psp Anyway, it’s interesting to see really strong GMs like Nguc Trong Son walking around. Since I see him in the major opens I have forgotten that he is still a junior. Also saw WGM Anya Corke who should be playing her last World Youth tournament since she is 18 this year.

I did not sleep last night because of the bulletin preparation for the first round. About 2085 bulletins were created each with an average 12-14 pages. Got back this morning to the hotel at 9.30 am just in time to have breakfast. After that I slept till 2 before coming to the tournament hall. I hope tonight the bulletins can finish faster so that I can get to sleep earlier

The girls seems to do better than the boys with no losses. The boys on the hand suffered 3 losses. Still it’s the only the first round …

Buffet style. Took lots of potato, fish and prawns. Since Vung Tau is by the sea, the sea food is fresh.

Haslindah Ruslan and all of the Malaysian contingent have arrived safely in Vietnam. She is now in the process of getting the player’s identification cards for the tournament. She was definitely surprised to see me sitting here in the P&T Hotel meeting room
With participants staying in 16 different hotels it’s a coincidence that I am also staying in the same hotel as the Malaysians.
A few hours before this was the grand opening ceremony of the World Youth..

Picture from P&T hotel Vung Tau of the conference room used for the World Youth registration.
This is the second time I’m in a foreign country because of chess. Vung Tau, Vietnam to be exact.
The number of participants is crazy. About 900 in total!
Tonight will be the opening ceremony and I get a chance to attend that and take a few pictures. Will post it here and also the WYCC blog later.
Players are arriving at all times to register. Most of them come straight from the airport.

Prepaid card in a foreign country. I found that it was useful in the Philippines to get a prepaid card for my phone. If someone calls me from Malaysia I’m charged for receiving the call and the cost is high. So it’s economical to get a local prepaid card.
It’s the same in Vietnam. Prepaid cards are easy to obtain and one prepaid package is about 100,000 VND which is about RM 21.

Overheard GM John Fedorowijc commenting about chess coaching upon arrival to World Youth Chess Championship in Vung Tau, Vietnam yesterday. Presumably he is one of the coaches for the USA team.

I really like this book. It gives me a peek at how extraordinary people like Gary Kasparov thinks, his philosophies in life and basically the things he believes in.

Hackers psp Saw the book in a Borders bookship for about RM 49 and I recommend it highly. There are even chess advice on how to train. Life advice is plentiful too and Kasparov insights is interesting. Also, there are many specific instances Kasparov takes what happened in past games as examples. Although the games themselves are not in the book it’s an easy thing to pull it up on a good chess database.
