MALAYSIA CHESS IN AUGUST 2009

Tomorrow is the first day month of ramadan.I wish all my muslim friends selamat berpuasa.This year the Malaysia Open will be played during fasting time and I think next year also this event will be played in puasa time.Looking at the list of participants I can see 10 grandmaster and 1 women grandmaster already register for this event.Also not many Malaysian players in the list, it is understandable because of fasting time.Ex world police champion Ismail Ahmad , Lim Kian Hwa and Abang Draup and his son son Abang Azman will also playing.Other Malaysia players choosed to play in AM Bank chess Challenges which is organised along with the Malaysia open.Terengganu Nor Ilhamuddin Shaik Ali will be palying in this event.


Last week in paralimpic games in Kuala Lumpur ,Malaysia chess players gained 8 gold out of 12.A outstanding by performances by the handicapped chess players.Some of the gold medalist I am not very familiar but I know Mah Hassan whom I played in the Malay Open way back in late 80 who is Besut born lawyer.Beside Mah Hassan they are two Terengganu born players in the team Idris and Ain of kampung Pasir Panjang Kuala Terengganu.Hashim Jusoh is one of coaches for the team.Congratulation to all and also to all the coaches.

TEMERLOH OPEN : NORAZMI IS THE CHAMPION

Nor Azmi received his prizes from Dato Haji Mohd Sakar Shamsuddin

A few week ago my old friend Rosli Mohd Nor called me to help him organising his Temerloh Open.Well I said ok and he also asked me to bring the equipments.To be Temerloh is always exciting for me because I have many friends that I made in late eighties.Among strong Temerloh chess players are Rosli himself,ShukurMustaffa,UstazJamaluddin,Patahir Akhir,Shaharuddin Mohd Said and veteran Kurnaini Karim also known as Tengku Aspalani or Kasputra are among names that he used during tournamnet.

Temerloh "Chess Center" is located at Seberang Temerloh which is just located under the bridges that cross the Pahang river.At the center you can play chess almost 24 hours daily.Please made sure you pay a visit to the chess center.Dont forget to try the famous ikan patin there.


When I reached Temerloh and saw list of participants I found out that only 3 familiar players ,Ian Udani ,Kamaluddin Yusoff and Abdullah Che Hassan.In my mind Terengganu players should have an equal chances to finish among top winner.


For Norazmi Mohd Nor to finish as the champion will included in his long list of many tournament that he won in his playing career.Click here for cross table.

MAS HAFIZUL MISSES A GM NORM

Mas Hafizul Hilmi

Malaysia top player Mas Hafizulhilmi Agus Abdul Rahman give commanding performance in qualifying round of world championship in Vietnam last week.He finished 6 points from 9 round game format to produce his best ever result in his quest for norm and ultimately the Grandmaster title.Mas misses GM norm merely by half a point.I think Mas has learnt a lot from this event and hopefully he will improve his games in future tournament.

They are 54 players took part in zonal whereby most of the players are from Vietnam.Majority of them are under twenty and they even field up 3 under 12 players (Le Quan Long ,Nguyen Van Thuan Thanh and Le Huu Thai).Can our junior match thiers? But here in Terengganu they a teachers and parents insist their children played only in age group although they already state junior representative.

Its not that easy as we speak ,Mas really need a dedicated team behind to support him.Look at Indonesia team they always travel with coach and team manager when they played in overseas tournament.At least our player feel comfortable and can concentrate fully on their game.But the bottom line is ringgit and cents.

Zonal cross table here.

MAKSAK 2009 FLASHBACK

Hisamullah Harun & Hashim Jusoh

Md Azizul of Kelantan

Although annual MAKSAK chess event concluded two weeks ago and Sarawak team captured the title but I read interesting game analysis from Kelantan first board player Mohd Azizul Mat Daud about his game against Hashim Jusoh of Terengganu in our last round encounter.Honestly I always warned my players about capabality of players from others teams.Dont take them lightly and don't underestimate them whom "may" do not play tournament regularly.

Everyear I see each team improved their performances and they gave their best.This is contributed by chess activities in their particular states.In this case PDRM , Perlis ,Perak , Pahang are no longer whipping boys.

On the other hand I can also see they are team who selected their players among goodfriend without going through selection tournament.This may hinder the development of chess in their own state.


In the years to come I can see Kelantan ,Selangor will emerged as a strong challenger for Maksak title including traditional powerhouse Kuala Lumpur and Terengganu.I have doubt about Sarawak who have only Abang Mohd Ridhuan and Morsin Ahmad after Lim Kian Hwa retires soon.Our Terengganu players Hashim Jusoh, Hisamullah Harun and Ahmad Rizal may not perform this year but they are good at least for another 20 more years.Article by arch rival here

MARZUKI MAT OF PERLIS

MD FAIZ TAN OF MELAKA

Honestly I am not happy with Terengganu performances in Maksak last week.We are not at our best even losing unexpectedly to teams that we should beat quite easily.Some of our players seem out of touch with the game, losing a complete winning position but I know all of them give all of their best .I know that Terengganu will recover next year and we will clinch the title back .

TERENGGANU GAGAL MEMPERTAHANKAN KEJUARAAN

Abg Ahmad Reduan Pemain Papan pertama Sarawak

Pasukan Catur Maksak Terengganu gagal untuk menjuarai acara catur MAKSAK berpasukan dalam percubaan untuk menyamakan rekod Kuala Lumpur iaitu juara 3 kali berturut.Pasukan Terengganu yang dibarisi oleh Hashim Jusoh,Hisamullah Harun,Ahmad Rizal Othman , Nor Azmi Mohd Nor dan Abdul Rahim Ramli sekadar bermain dibawah keupayaan sebenar. Kesungguhan permainan pasukan Sarawak akhirnya mengulangi kejayaan tahun 2002 dengan muncul juara dengan mengutip 18.5 mata dengan meninggalkan pasukan naib juara Kuala Lumpur yang hanya mendapat 16 mata.Pasukan Pahang yang mengejutkan Terengganu mengumpul 14.5 mata.Pasukan tuahrumah Kelatan mengalahkan Terengganu dipusingan akhir mendapat tempat keempat.Kegagalan pasukan Terengganu untuk mempertahankan kejuaraan diluar jangkaan sama sekali.Klik disini untuk keputusan penuh pusingan pemenang.

NATIONAL RATING JULY

National rating just came out.From the list I can see 6829 chess players are at least rated.Probably more then 5 events are not rated officially.To calculate all this is time consuming ( I simply will give up if they ask me to do this) and good in math.Although 6829 are rated I believed several thousand players should be rated ,I say maybe another 5000 should be rated.Out that total figure I believed 2000 is die hard chess players.But it is very hard to find an exact number of chess population in this country.Base on the national rating Ruzenan abu Bakar is the top player and second is Abdul Rahim Ramli.Both are not FIDE rated players but need 4 rated games to be officially rated.Mohd Khairul Nazrin is the highest rating increment by making 259 points due to his participants in various rated event in the country for the past 3 months.


1.Ruzenan Abu Bakar 1711 (1711)
