Mas-Sin 2010 detail results

Here is the detail results of the Malaysia-Singapore Challenge 2010 (courtesy of En Najib Wahab) :-

Malaysia loses narrowly to Singapore in 2010 friendly match

Photo courtesy of FireyRook blog.

After Malaysia taking a 6 point lead  in Classical Chess over Singapore in the first day, the second day witnessed the Singaporean Lions roaring back in the Rapid round 3 and 4 to take the title with a razor close 76.5-75.5.

The Malaysians all performed commendably and the results could have gone either way with 38 boards being hard fought over 4 rounds.

With this result, Malaysia has proven more than worthy opponents and it certainly is the answer to FIDE Secretary General Ignatius Leong’s statement about finding better and more challenging neighbouring country to play against after trouncing Malaysia with big margins over the past years.

This year goes to Singapore. Next year will be a different story !! :)

Arbiters for the KL Grand Prix

There was two arbiter in charged FM Peter Long (above) & Certified FIDE Developmental Instructor Marcus Yeoh (below)

Not only is Marcus Yeoh (ELO rated 1999) a chess blogger, chess coach and arbiter, he will also be taking part in the KL Open 2010 in April. He is also Penang Centre Manager for Polgar Chess Asia.

During NAG 2009:

Congratulations to the two arbiters for a very professional way of handling the tournament. There were no incidents except for Amithpal forfeit game due to phone ringing. Everything was run very smoothly. Marcus and Peter can be seen hard at work during the entire tournament. We should have more arbiters like them.

One nice thing about the tournament is that they use projector to show the pairing and result. Quite convenient. No need to squeeze in crowd to see small A4 size paper on the wall.

According to Peter Long in his blog:

My “old-new” vehicle, Polgar Chess Asia (www.polgarchessasia.com)which is operated by Effective Commerce, has a special focus on helping develop potential in children, and we plan to have organising of suitable activities and the right type of competitions not only with the KLCA but other places around the country as an equal complement to more formal learning in a classroom environment.

Let's hope Peter and Polgar Chess Asia can bring our Malaysian chess to a new level with their tournaments and training.
