Me at the Malaysian Inter State Chess Championship 2016 - Part 2


I will cherish the moment at the Malaysian Inter State Chess Championship 2016 held at MS Garden Hotel, Kuantan Pahang. There are six teams took part in the Women category playing in a round robin format and fourteen teams in the Open category playing in a six-round-SWISS format. 

The venue of the championship which is MS Garden Hotel is great. The opening ceremony, officiated by the Highness Tengku Mahkota Pahang, was superb. Kudos and Salute to all especially PCP (Persatuan Catur Pahang) who made the event successful.

Nice MS Garden Hotel room

Thank You Allah, with 10 match points our team emerged as the champion and four of its players won Gold medal in the Best Board category. Pulau Pinang and Johor won the First Runner UP and Second Runner Up respectively.

The opening ceremony was officiated by the Highness Tengku Mahkota Pahang (TMP). It is good for the Malaysian chess community when a royal family member appreciates the game of chess.

The Malaysian chess community are surely happy when Datuk Mohd Nazifuddin, the PM's son, has promised to bring Chess into SUKMA. I did not realized when he was standing on my back watching shortly one of my games. Datuk Nazif has showed his commitment to the chess community by spending much of his time in the tournament hall.
