Lasah 2011 chess tournament
It was held on the 29th May 2011. It was long drive, we reach the venue at 8.30am. It was an unexpected turn out with 120 participant. The organizer only close the registration at 9.45am. It was 7 round with 20minute time control.
I went there with my nephew, he's on school break. Round 1 started around 10.15am. I was paired with a strong opponent, it seem both of us didn't inform our rating.. ha ha ha .. luckily I won. On round 2 is was paired with another strong opponent, he was the unofficial Lasah champion . He make a mistake by offering his knight for my 2 pawn and a very strong attack to his uncastle king.
By this time i was 2 point but as it turn out for my nephew he meet up with both of my previous opponent, he lost and he's already feeling down.
Game 3, I was paired with a kid for U15 . I won the game. Game 4 I was paired with another U15 . never underestimate those guy as they have the same point as i did. So far i was having a good tournament with no loss. And my nephew got back his rhythm and keep winning his game. I so far had 5 point out of 5.
On the fifth i was paired with the eventual winner, hes from penang. In the game a had a huge advantage, but i blundered in the exchange by losing a tempo... arrhhhh just one tempo and the game is mine ..
On the six !!! the first time i lose my temper on a game. He's a U15 opponent and a friend's son ( didn't know it at the time).
7th round I was paired with another strong opponent, he blundered his queen and the game .. :) .
overall I got 6/7 point. not bad, and I was 1st runner up.. i guess my solkof was better because of my strong opponent, and all of my opponent get prizes. oh yea, my nephew got fifth for the U15 category with 4.5/7 point.
Great tournament for me, Alhamdulillah ...

Slim river 2011 Perak grandprix
Not much to tell .. it was 7 round rapid game with 20 minute time control. My first opponent was a kid, but you could not under estimate those little guys now days. I won my first, second and third game. At the fourth round i meet Fong Yit Ho, he's number 6 in Asean Sea Game selection. I lost on time with drawish position.
On round five i meet another kid. The kid had a look of overconfidence on him. He lost badly , one of the lesson i learn in chess is that don't be overconfidence over your opponent even if he is lower rated than yourself. In round six i blundered a piece and I just don't have a counter play for the piece, My opponent just trade our pieces and i just resign.
At the last round i meet Cikgu Asma, Mr Azman mentor (perak state OKU player) she's the coach for their team and I could not let my guard down. It was our first meetup on the board. I was 4 point to her 4.5 point. I played my KID setup and i think she's using an 150 attack, luckily I had studied the variation before and know the basic counter for it. we were fighting for control of the center where the game was still balance but then i capture white rook. By this time white was in trouble, she tried to attack but she end up losing a piece. by that time i was just simple exchange and promote to queen and mate.
The summary, I got 5 point out of 7. miss out of the prize money due to board 1-3 agree on draw. but it was a good tournament with the exception of my blunder on round six.
Hope I improve on my game on the next tournament...
