While most Malaysian chess players are competing in the on-going NCC or National Closed Championship - both Men and Women sections, three Malaysian juniors are participating in the Asian Junior Chess Championship held in India, the country of the world chess champion. The three of them - Evan NM Timothy Capel, WCM Nur Nabila Azman and her younger sister, WFM Nur Najiha, just played in the MSSM last week. GiLoCatur believes by playing in such international tournament, they will improve and have more experience to be on par with their peers around the world. GiLoCatur also hopes that they will perform the best to make Malaysia proud and put it in the world chess map. "SELAMAT BERJUANG!"
