I totally sucked. and still sucks.

Went to the Chessmasters 2009 Open Tournament today. Gosh I really sucked. 7 games, altogether from 9am to 6pm.

At first things are looking pretty good. The first round I was against a Malay girl, something Aisha or Aisya or Aisyah. Managed to keep all 8 pawns till the end LOL. Won that one. Second round and third round was fine, won those as well. So that's full marks for me.

Though after the break. The remaining four games are hell to me. 4th round, matched up at table 1 ( represents ranking). Ended up with a slight advantage but I decided to draw the game. Don't wanna take the risk of blundering. Still, many peopel told me that I really should continue playing to win. Ah.. whatever. A draw against top seed player. It's my honour.

Went to table 5. Dang, I was black and Renitha was playing white.. the Johor Chess Club's president's daughter. In other words. VERY TERROR. Duh of course I lost the game. Her game was just better than mine. No match for her. And so what if I lost to a girl? I mean they're suppose to have the same mentality than guys right?

Dropped to table 7. OMG.. damn my rotten luck, kena play against Pahang MSSJ represantative. If I had won I would be in MSSJ as well. And I'm not, so yea I lost AGAIN.

Last game ended how the day started. Malay girl as well. But she was way better than the Aisyah girl. Had quite a hard time but managed to win that one.

So overall my score is 4.5 upon 7. Highest score I think is 6. Really dissapointed in myself. In most tournaments I can normally achieve 5.5 marks.. Ah never mind, I'll just have to try again.
Final ranking : 19 upon 93. Out of top ten, gotta work harder.

The next tournament I think is the Tebrau Open in Pelangi Plaza. I like that event a lot cause I get to visit the magic shop there LOL. Though it's really really really dumb for them to have the game going on beside RedBox. Looking forward to it.
