Uptown Shah Alam dah start organize chess tournament. Macam mana pulak dengan Uptown Damansara? GiLoCatur ada mengenali beberapa orang peniaga dari Uptown Damansara di beberapa pertandingan catur seperti Terbuka Tanjung Karang dan Terbuka De Laguna Park tahun lepas. Mereka memang minat bermain catur. Sanggup datang tournament walaupun kurang tidur. Ini membuktikan ramai peminat2 dan chess fanatics (gilocatur) di kalangan masyarakat kita dari pelbagai lapisan masyarakat. Pihak-pihak yang berkenaan perlu "outreach" mereka ini.
