Let me tell you guys about Me and Chess.
I knew how to play chess when I'm around standard 4.
Then play play play... nothing much happened..... No achievements, no prizes, no competition.... nothing... just playing for fun.
Until 1 Day.........
I switched school from SMK Taman Connaught to MBSSKL.
That day is some kind of special because few students came in with me.
So our discipline teacher kinda gave a briefing about the school rules and all those.. Then there's a promotion of the Chess Competition that is going to be held in Mid Valley- organized by MBSSKL IT Brigaders. It is said to be the largest Chess Competition in Malaysia and is going to be in the Malaysia book of Record, and so, its true.
So,
I participated,
Found out that the competition is a complete FAILURE!!!! there is a total 7 rounds, each round cost a maximum of 50 minutes (25+25). Then we'll have to wait for the pairings to be pasted on the wall.
Because of lack of experience, it then cost around 1 hour between each round!
I went there at 7.00 a.m, and end up going back at around 1.00 a.m..!!!!!!!
Damn It!
Never Mind
And I get number 28th+/- In Under-15 category. And also 1st MBS U-15 Player (meaning getting 1st among MBSSKL Under-15 players)
This Is the main reason i Get motivated and start Sink into the world of chess
......
....
....
..
....
So, i didn't really study about chess much, just following instinct.
...
...
Then Form 2,
An opportunity came
A new teacher named - Pn. Yong Lai Yen came and some sort of upgrade our chess club.
Her son is currently a U-15 National Champion - Yeap Eng Chiam, which is also one of my idols.
I get to go to the Zon Bangsar inter-school competition, and yet get nothing also... lol.
So ...
Chess Club started,
Our Coach was Mr. Lim Tse Pin ( Currently an international arbiter)
He Taught us openings, openings, openings, and only a few end games. (openings are important so he emphasize it much)
Then, the third MBSSKL competition is here, i joined, and get nothing again.. (damn it!)
But nevertheless, i still continue.
Then, inter-class competition --- finally i get 1ST! cuz went to a special training course.
Then got DAMN motivated.
Then, qualify to the Singapore Chess Fest 2009 (Challengers) - THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS IS that it is FULLY SPONSERED BY THE SCHOOL!!!!!!!
So,
I went there with another 6 other partners...
This is more like a trip than a competition,
we have fun and so....
So... I'll stop here...
Continue later on...
