Draw? Get outta here...

Well the chess competition went well today. Too bad it was only a 4-round tournament. No clocks though. I'm actually surprised how we could finish early. At least earlier than I thought it would be.

First round table 6 I think. There was only like 8 - 10 tables. Matched up against Lim Jia Min. Um let's just say that I was the first one to got up from the table. LOL good try. Though you have no next year I'm afraid. -.- Weiwei got a walkover. Don't know which Helen Mary didn't came. So she got 2 points out of nothing.



Just look at her. Oh yea and that's haukit. Against JiaEn I think.



Dyi Perng vs Joey Naik.


Table 5 was next. Amar Yazzudin was the man. I got white. Again good game. Tons of mistake throughout LOL. We were like blind people playing chess. Everything's so obviously yet we can't see it. And I have no idea why Dyi Perng drew with his opponent. He claims it as a strategy. Well you tend to get matched up against a stronger player if you have more points. So sometimes people move back to move forward. Though there's only 4 rounds. And it's a school competition only. IT'S A NO-NO TO ME. Maybe it worked out for him cause he did get a place in the end.

Table 2 on round 3. HAU KIT lol. Sorry to say he lost his precious penelope queen by move 4. Ouch. The rest isn't hard I suppose.

Last but definitely not the least, round 4 table 1. Soon Ming. OMG buddy it was harsh. Fought hard both of us had. Though we couldn't settle for a draw. At least I didn't wanted to. That would mean both of us gets 7 points. And that's champ sayonara. So he was down 2 pawns in the endgame and he exchanged his last bishop for the potential queen, which is still a pawn but not for long. So the endgame was pretty easy.






Middlegame. Yea that's how he looked. Super serious.



Close to endgame. I'm a pawn up but to me he has a way better position. LOL he looks desperate.



To all people: Boys who play chess ain't nerds. nor geeks. Though they are more scheming than others.


NEWS FLASH : I just knew it today. Surprised I was. Still am. LOL. great job my friend.
