    Pertukaran tempat kejohanan di Perlis

    Untuk makluman semua, pihak penganjur terpaksa menukar venue Kejohanan Catur Terbuka Perlis 2011 (30 April) dan Gula Perlis Open ChessChallenge 2011 (1 Mei) dari Dewan Warisan ke Dewan Belia (di hadapan Hospital Tuanku Fauziah, Kangar). Memandangkan ruang di venue tersebut agak terhad, maka penyertaan bagi setiap kejohanan terpaksa dihadkan kepada 200 peserta pertama sahaja. Para peserta yang berminat untuk menyertai kedua-dua pertandingan ini, diseru untuk menyempurnakan pendaftaran dengan membuat pembayaran awal, untuk mengelakkan nama digugurkan dari menyertai pertandingan ini.

    USM 17th Chess Open team event after round 3

    Another sad day for me, once again cannot join this event because of not enough player to produce a team because of last minute withdraw. Still enjoyed watching other friends game. Next week, I absolutely will play at Sungai Petani, SMK Bandar for Kedah Open 2011. A national rated event. I think Kedah Open is good event, but there was a complaint from a few individual about the structure of the prizes. For me, the organizer have the right to do what ever they wants. En. Yahaya already contribute a lot of money to make this  event success.
    Team Bayu Tiara still in the list, but no re-presenter. Below are the result after round 3.

    USM open 2011 individual result

    I missed this year tournament due to work commitment. Congrats to NM Evan Timothy Capel for his excellence without losing any game. This year we can see the youngster conquer the main prizes except Chuah Heng Meng (1st runner up). Congrats to all winners.
