MCC06, Round 1

Last year during the Malaysia Chess Festival (end of August, 06) MCC (Malaysian Chess Challenge) was organised alongside with the Malaysian Open 06 at Cititel Hotel, Midvalley Megamall. Both events were FIDE rated but MCC was only for players rated below 2200. Yet I did poorly for the tournament scoring only 6/11 where I started the first 7 rounds with a blunder each round!

White to Move and Win!


This position was reached after Black played 22... Nf7??. However during the game, I did not notice the winning continuation and played 23Qe3. Though White finally won the game but not without some help from Black.

Replay the game here


Until then,
Tan Eu Hong
