I hate this time of year because school holidays is about to begin. The shopping complexes are jam packed with people, there is traffic jams and I can’t go out to watch movies on weekdays because of the crowd.
Anyway, I’m sure the kids are happy with it. There is the usual holiday chess camp organised by various coaches and academies. So far besides the one held at DATCC here’s another one involving our newest IM, Mok Tze Meng.

Remember the world chess championship between Kasparov-Karpov is Seville, Spain?
It was one of the most memorable for me as I followed the news from newspapers as there was no internet then (1987). We didn’t have the games immediately back then – just the results a day or two later.
According to Chessdom reports Kasparov and Karpov will play a 12-game match from 21 to 24 September, 2009, in Valencia.
My money is on Kasparov of course. Karpov is still strong but has been on the decline for a long time.
