Interesting chess sets.

I presume you fill it up with some alcoholic drink in each of the 32 piece – if a piece is captured, you down the drink (take a ’shot’)

I’m quite happy with my Olympiad PGN reader program as it was written in less than an hour. I rarely write computer programs anymore ever since I quit my job as a programmer more than 1 year ago. Feeling more confident, the past few days I’ve been trying to write a database program to store PGN files for ChessASIA.net but I’ve hit a wall. I thought it’s very simple to just strip the PGN and store the games into a web database (MySQL). Technically though, it’s not that simple.

Today I took a break and shifted a gear down and did something different. My “extended Swiss 46 results display” was hard coded to work with 6 or 7 round tournaments. I just extended it to support 8 rounds. The reason is IIUM tournament held yesterday was 8 rounds. Even this took me 3 hours to write. (sign of getting old 
)
Anyway here’s the result (mouse over the names and rounds to see) :-

Youngster Yeoh Li Tian in an exciting Q+2P+K vs Q+2P+K ending,
Looking at the board, Li Tian’s opponent already has a dangerous passed pawn on the 7th rank supported by King already on the 8th rank. I thought it was a lost game for the youngster.
Later after the game when Li Tian was playfully running around the hall I stop and asked him who won that game. He said he drew it.
I’m impressed.
