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 ...
