World Youth Chess Championship 2010: Update#4
Let see how the fairer sex fares two rounds later after the day off. Are we going to see major movements like in the boys categories?
In Under-8 Girls category,
The Chinese is still maintaining the half-point advantage over the field. It is very suprising to see two Americans were booted out the Top 10 standing alongside with one Hungarian. Who have taken over their places? Well, it is another Slovak, Russian and Bulgarian.
In Under-10 Girls category,
The sole leader from Russia at half-way stage had a terrible last two rounds that saw her knocked off from the throne by a Netherlander who herself has established a half-point advantage over others with another 3 rounds to go. There is only one casualty with an Iranian getting out and was replaced by an Azerbaijani.
In Under-12 Girls category,
Is is a very sad day for the Belarusans where their heroin who is the sole tournament leader at half-way stage was knock out of Top 10 by receiving a double K.O. after the day off. This is a clear and good example where the aspect of Mind Coaching is so bloody important !!!!! Let this scenario be also a lesson to be learnt by all Malaysians. May be one day in future, we have a Malaysian who can reach the same pinnacle at WYCC and we must make sure he/she does not suffer the same fate like this girl. Other casualties include a Russian and a Chinese. While, an Azerbaijani, an American and an Iranian have replaced them in the Top 10 standing.
In Under-14 Girls category,
The Chinese who was the sole leader at half-way stage no longer have the 1 point lead over the field. Currently, she is sharing her top spot with a Kazakh. Both of them have a half-point advantage over the chasing pack. Players from 4 countries namely Spain, Georgia, Iran and India were booted out of the Top 210 Standing and replaced by players from Azerbaijan, Serbia, Russia and Armenia.
In Under-16 Girls category,
Again, the Belarusans saw their heroin lost the sole leader status obtained at half-way stage. Now, she is sharing the top spot with 4 other players. Hope that she can survive the ordeal till the finishing line. A Spaniard and an Armenian could not survive the heat at Top 10 and were replaced by a Kazakh and an Azerbaijani.
In Under-18 Girls category,
The sole leader from Azerbaijan at half-way stage has pulled ahead with a one point lead over the chasing pack of 6 players. Players from Greece, Russia and Vietnam were knock out from Top 10 Standing and were replaced by players from India, Belarus. and Czech Republic.

USA still maintaining 3 players in the top 10 standing, while India is down to 2 players. Players from Serbia and Bulgaria were booted out of Top 10 List, replacing them are Poles, Iranian and our beloved neighbour who is represented by this sole representative. So far, Tin's performance is superb and getting stronger and stronger to the finishing line. He is on his way to make Singapore proud. Personally, I hope to see this boy can have a podium finish.

World Youth Chess Championship 2010: Update#2
Lets see which countries stand out for the Girls Categories at half-way mark.
In Under-8 Girls category,
Here we see a completely different scenario from the boys with the domination of contenders from 3 countries namely USA with 3 contenders, followed by Hungary and India with 2 each.
In Under-10 Girls category,
Here, there is 2 Greeks alongside with sole representative from 8 other countries in the Top 10 at the half-way mark.
In Under-12 Girls category,
Again, we see a similar dominance like the U8 category from different 3 countries namely China with 3 contenders, followed by Russia and India with 2 each. Will it be the same after 12 y.o.?
In Under-14 Girls category,
The domination by certain countries seem to mellow down. Nevertheless, there is still 2 Indians and 2 Iranians among the Top 10 contenders.
In Under-16 Girls category,
A similar trend just like in U14. It's good to see 2 Vietnamese alongside with 2 Georgians are currently among the top 10 contenders.
In Under-18 Girls category,
Another round of good news with 2 Vietnamese alongside with sole representative from 8 other countries in the Top 10 standing.
The South East Asia are better represented in the Girls category with 6 contenders coming from Vietnam. A very strong showing from the Vietnamese. Besides them, Indians and Chinese too have 6 contenders each in the Top 10 standing for the 6 categories contested.
In Under-8 Girls category,

World Youth Chess Championship 2010: Update#1
The World Age-Group 2010 better known as World Youth Chess Championship or in short WYCC 2010 has just concluded the half-way stage. Lots of local chess bloggers are reporting the performances of Malaysian players in this year WYCC.
I would not like to add more to it as I believe they are doing a decent reporting. Instead, I would like to report on which countries are fighting for top placing for each category. In view that the event only at halfway stage, there are still many contenders have their shot for Championship. I will cover the top 10 contenders for each category.
In Under-8 Boys category,
We are seeing 3 Indians propel into Top 10 in the youngest category. Why? They have the best decentralised Development Programme for Juniors in the World at this point in time or should I said began 10 years ago in a mass production effort.
In Under-10 Boys category,
Again, we are seeing the same thing as in Under-8.
In Under-12 Boys category,
Again, we are seeing 2 Indians as opposed to sole representative from 8 other countries. Let see whether this scenario changes after 12 y.o.
In Under-14 Boys category,
Now, there is 2 Poles besides 2 Indians inside top 10 standing. What about U-16?
In Under-16 Boys category,
Oops, no more Indians in the top 10 ranking, why? While, there is still 2 Poles dominates this category alongside with 2 Danes.
In Under-18 Boys category,
Finally, we see 2 Russians alongside with 2 Indians in the Top 10 standing.
Lets look at countries nearer to our home, the whole of South East Asia has only 1 contender in the Top 10 of the 6 categories contested. This give a strong indication to us on how far are we away from the world best.

5th MBSS Open [U-14]: Dark-horse Suniil has crushing wins and Pavitranayagi dominates
In Under-14 Boys category, under rated Suniil Kalivanan of SMK Subang Utama triumphed over Albert Ang in Round 4 had proven basically my prediction made over the last few days when one of the MBS (Primary) students asked me who will win the Under-14 category.
For you information, Albert as a former MBPS student is well known among his juniors in primary school. Every chess player in the primary school try to emulate his chess glory in primary school. We have witnessed Derek in NAG last year, then Viknesh in MSSMWP this year, and now Jaron Tan in MBSS event.
Lets come back to Suniil, he is trained by my master in chess. Who is my master? U find it out yourself. With the victory against Albert, he has one more critical hurdler to clear i.e. Win against Tan Yong Zhao in Round 5 which he secured easily. In the last round, he was pitted against Tin Jun Hao who is 1 point behind the sole leader and all he needs to do is to offer a draw but alas this event is conducted under "No Draw by mutual agreement in first 30 moves". He waited patiently until 30 moves were reached before drawing the game. While, Tin was happy with the draw after he suffered unexpected lost in Rd 4 to Alexander Hoon and did not want to suffer the same fate like the top two seeded players in the event.
Meanwhile, Tan Yong Zhao scored 4 consecutive wins which include stopping giant-killer Nikk Johari who in earlier rounds had shattered the championship dream of Tan Ri Hong and Derek Poon. However, he failed to stop Suniil marched towards the title. Nevertheless, he won his last round against another giant-killer Emir who had upset one of the pre-tournament favourites, Lim Jing Hong, in round 5. By the way, Albert was awarded 3rd placing based on better tie-break over 7 other players who obtained 4.5 points.
In Under-14 Girls category, Pavitranayagi Jayamurthey of Convent Sentul has emerged as the Champion for her category after scoring 5 wins and a draw. Her only draw was against her nearest rival, Goh Xin Yen, in round 4.
Meanwhile, Goh Xin Yen had a scared of her life by almost losing to Alakarthika in the following round. She was lucky to escape with a draw after a series of bad moves in endgame played her opponent. Again, she had the luck in taking advantage of her inexperience opponent to score a full point in her last round against Yap Ern Yee. With both the results, she secured a 2nd place finishing. While, Alakarthika had to settle for 3rd place after managing only 4 wins and a draw.

5th MBSS Open [U-17]: Both Yeap and Teh secure an easy victory in their respective group
In Under-17 Boys category, Yeap Eng Chiam of MBSS crushes all his 6-round opponents include some resistent over the board from another pre-tournament favourite, Wong Jianwen of Wesley Methodist. While, Wong finishes 3rd after losing on tie-break to another title contender, Poon Jit Wai. Both players suffered 1 defeat only at the hand of the Champion. Poon justified his 2nd place finishing with highest solkoff points in this category by defeating players who had finished at 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 10th in this event. He has +2 solkoff points margin over Yeap.
In Under-17 Girls category, Teh Kai Wen of SMK Kepong Baru as expected crushes all her 6-round opponents to win the title. While, Eunice Yee justified her seeding by finishing 2nd behind Teh. Third place went to Yow Chooi Yee who lost to both top two seeded players in the event.

5th MBSS Open [U-20]: Yat finishes as Champion on tie-break and Olivia cruises to an easy victory
In Under-20 Boys category, Yat Guo Jie triumphed over Tan Wei Hao in top of the board clash in the final round gave him a memorable victory. Both players experienced shocking defeat at the hands of their school mates Boey and Gabriel on Round 3.
At one stage, it looked like Gabriel Soong which was not in my Championship prediction list was going to champ the event after able to win against Boey Jin Huey in Round 4. However, Yat stoled the limelight by stopping Gabriel in Round 5 to throw the Championship wide open and reinstate Tan as the favorite since the latter has the highest tie-break before the final round. Well, Yat just delivered the unexpected result and the rest is history.
While, Gabriel completed the event on 2nd place after his wins against Cheah Dong Wah who himself won against Boey in Round 5. Boey must be cursing himself after having a fine run in the first 3 rounds but throwed away the title hope with 2 consecutive losses before securing a last round victory to finish on 4th place. Liew Ken Yew is the luckiest person in this category which see him propels to 3rd place without fighting any strong player except Tan where he lost in Round 4.
In Under-20 Girls category, Olivia Madhavan of SMK Seri Bintang Selatan emerged as Champion after crushing all her 6-round oppnents easily. While, Lee Pui Yin who was pitted against Olivia in Round 1 must be the happiest person in this category to finish 2nd behind Olivia. She overcame the Rd 1 nightmare of playing top seed by picking up a bye in Rd 2, won her 3rd round against the only other rated player, then got a walkover aganist Ong Yee Wen in Rd 4, followed by 2 consecutive wins. It is just unbelievable how a contestant fortune can be changed so rapidly. Third place went to Loke Mee Sie who secured 2.5 points from 3 games before conceeding a walkover to Olivia without playing in Rd 4. Then, she lost her Rd 5 to Lee before getting a walkover from Ong in the last round.

The dark horse in this category is Boey Jin Huey who is under rated with only 1305 rating points. One of the names listed here should be the Champion for this category.

Result: 12th CAS-OCTAGON Second Quarter Allegro
This event began @ 9.40am with 51 people turned up for the event. As usual 20% of the pre-registered names did not turn up due to various reasons. One of the reasons definitely due to England vs. USA match that ended after 4am. It was unfortunate that England only drew 1-1 against USA. I too watched the first half of the match but got to force myself to switch it off else maybe it's me who can't make it to the event as Chief Arbiter.
This event was participated by 3 players who came all the way from Singapore, one Singaporean (seeded 13th), one Vietnamese (unseeded), and one "Mat Salleh" from Eastern European country (seeded 3rd). After 8 hrs of incident-free arbitering, GM Ziaur Rahman with Nat. Rating 2467 whipped the entire field with a perfect score. In addition, nine out of top 10 pre-seeded players based on National Rating eventually finish the event in Top 10 bracket. Also, a total of 17 pre-seeded players came out in top 20 representing 85% seeding accuracy.
The next best result at 5.5 points was shared by 3 players namely "Allegro veterans" Cheok Fung and Fariz, alongside with giant-killer Sheng Yip (seeded 33rd) who earlier in the day had trounced Zaidan and Ismail Ahmad before settling for a draw in a hard-fought last round encounter against Fariz.
Next, Ian Udani (Allegro King for the past 2 years in the absent of local boy FM Nicholas) with 5 points came in at 5th place alongside with 4 other players after losing his last round to GM Ziaur. His reign supreme in local Allegros are likely to come to an end if GM Ziaur continues to join the local Allegros.
Fadli aka SM made it into the top 10 by collecting 4.5 points. The best CAS member title went to 16 y.o. Poon Jit Wai who produced a shocking win against Abdullah Che Hassan in Round 2. Andrew Soong claimed the Best U-15 title, while Shum Rui Yuan got the U-12 title. The Best CAS Veteran title went to fireyrook blogger, Shamsuddin Sabri. Lastly, the Best Girl title won by Hisyamiza Ismail.
Below is the full result based on tie-break (after incorporating provisional Nat. Rating to unseeded players) and its crosstable:

Selangor Has Retained The MSSM Overall Chess Champion Title
A very anti-climax situation has arised after taking into account the points awarded to all the state teams for other results outside the medal standing. Selangor is said to have amazed more than 100+ points to be crowned as Overall Chess Champion for MSSM 2010.
While, Penang not only unable to finish the event as Champion although winning 4 gold medals (more than Selangor, for details please refer to my earlier post). They are pipped by Wilayah Persekutuan and had to settle for 3rd placing with 80+ points. Where as, Wilayah Persekutuan accumulated 96 points for a 2nd place finishing.
What happens to Penang in the last Round? From the cross-table, Penang lost some last round points from the Girl's Individual category. As we all know, 1 point lesser in the final standing will affect between 4 to 7 places in any tournament with 28 players. Nevertheless, I believe Penang players will be more determine than ever to win the Overall Chess Champion Title in future MSSM.
Lastly, Well done, Selangor !!!. A post mortem SWOT analysis should be done by both contingents from Klang Valley after this event if the Klang Valley Giants would like to finish 1-2 again in future editions.

Nevertheless, I believe Penang players will be more determine than ever to win the Overall Chess Champion Title in future MSSM.
Lastly, Well done, Selangor !!!. A post mortem SWOT analysis should be done by both contingents from Klang Valley after this event if the Klang Valley Giants would like to finish 1-2 again in future editions.
MSSM 2010 Medal Tally
The MSSM Chess Championship 2010 has concluded with Penang and Selangor have won the lion shares of 7 golds, 8 silvers and 3 bronzes from 12 categories. If you add up all the medals both states actually had won half the medals contested. Penang has won 1 more gold than Selangor, but the latter won 4 more silver than the former.
The medal tally is summarized below:
If the calculation is based purely on the medal tally listed above, just like the Olympic system, it is very clear that Penang is the Overall Champion. However, the actual results that are used to calculate the Overall Champion is not based solely on the Gold - Silver - Bronze medal standing only. Instead, it uses a system similar to MotoGP or Formula1 where a 10th placing or 16 placing will be awarded with points.
After factor in other results into the actual medal standing, Selangor may still end up pipping Penang to the Overall Championship title.
Will post the final result on the Overall Champion when I receive more updates from Perlis.

MSSM 2010 Overall Chess Champion - Penang !?
With one round remaining, all 14 teams are motivated to give a final push to their respective players for a good last round performance. After a hard-fought 6 rounds battle, Penang has emerged as the frontrunner and likely to sweep this year overall MSSM title for the first time since Chess was introduced back to MSSM calendar in 2004 at Labuan.
Penang will also become the first state to break Klang Valley dominance since 2004 if they continue their good performance in today last round. Why Penang can show such dominance until they are in a driver seat position for the last phase of the race in this year edition, let me starts the ball rolling........
1. They are very discipline.
2. They are very united.
3. They are very humble in chess learning.
4. They didn't let their ego get into their heads.
5. They have a systematic way of centralised training.
6. They are fighters.
7. They are hardworking.
8. They are determined.
9. They have great admin people to implement the right things.
10. The key to all - They organised this year NAG (March 2010) where most top players around the country took part ...... scoresheets analyzed !!
and the list can goes on but I will stop here.
When the Klang Valley contingents return back from this competition, they must do a thorough SWOT analysis on two aspects i.e. (i) the pre-MSSM preparation; (ii) the things that happened during MSSM.
Will Penang falters on their own at the last hurdler or Selangor to produce a superb result to overturn the deficit against Penang with a razor-thin margin to retain the Crown? We will know the answer in the next 12 hrs.
My bet is Penang is not going to falter. Hence, Selangor needs a miraculous effort from 36 players (like winning at least 33 pts from 36 games) to retain the title.
