The top board tomorrow is the battle between our veteran and young top player. Between an IM and a FM. Between the defending champion and his very experienced opponent or challenger. In GiLoCatur opinion, the match may be the turning point or decider of the tournament.

GiLoCatur will also be busy tomorrow at the tournament, LOL. Busy waiting both Fikri and Anis playing. So, can not sleep late tonight too. Need to wake up early since the first of the three rounds tomorrow will be at 9.00 am. Even though no zero waiting rule in effect, for a very tough tournament like Selangor Open all players must be on time to avoid time pressure problem.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPANTS!

  2. TQ Sir. Hope Malaysian chess players have discipline like yourself. I think this is one of the factors that differentiate between the juniors and seniors.

    So, chess parents including GiLoCatur please make sure your children arrive on time for any chess tournament.
