I think Kramnik just won the event earlier. Latest results shows at AmberChess website shows Kramnik drew, Anand drew and Ivanchuk lost so that means Kramnik going into the final round with 2 points advantage wins the event before last game!
Congratulations to Kramnik!!

Streamyx finally...
Finally got my streamyx installed and now posting my first post with streamyx. Not so good but not so bad as well cause its far better compare to dial up. At least I got to do something I wish for a long time ago. Now I can play chess online, play online games and can proceed to develop websites.
Just finished playing a few games at FreeChess.org just now. The last time I played online was 2,3 years ago. Finally I could play some blitz...
Cheers!!

Insufficient Energy...
Working overtime and playing in chess tournament the next day is always a bad choice and combination as I was almost energy-less by round 7 of the 8 rounds tournament. Luckily my round 8 opponent was kind enough to offer me a draw and thus we finished the tournament with 3rd for him and 9th for me...
The 1.5 days of NEC Computers Community Open House 2007 finishes successfully where I had worked overtime for 2 days... More pictures to come for this event...
My aim for for CLHS Open was quite low as I had exhausted myself with the works but the end result was fine except the terrible lost on round 6.
Until then,
Eu Hong

New Highest Tactics Rating
It had been exactly 3 months ago when I achieved my highest rating at Chess Tactics Server with 1667 on 20 Dec 06. Today, I done it again to reach 1677 after struggling around 1600~1650 for 3 months. Higher rating come along with high solving speed and of course higher accuracy of solving it. My success rate thus increase to 80.4% after 10,995 tries. This however does not always reflect in actual over-the-board play especially in shorter time control games as I lost all my 5 minutes blitz against Chuah and Khai Boon during PFS open... I think I cannot play blitz... hehehe...
My latest CTS Profile
Latest ranking among Malaysian Tacticians
Top 10 ranking among all active tacticians
and finally I am ranked 207 in the "world".
Cheers!!

Nemesis Broken!!
Penang Free School Open (PFS Open) was over yesterday. The event was carried out successfully except the number of participants was lesser than what usually expected. Only 80+ turned up and the organiser was very generous having giving out a total of 40 prizes!
The tournament started with Tan Khai Boon as first seed, Chuah Heng Meng second, me third, Lim Cheng Teik forth and Victor Hong fifth. The top seed was upset on round 3 while I later lost at round 4. Cheng Teik later lost to Chuah and finally we went into the final round with me playing white against Chuah while Cheng Teik taking White against Khai Boon. My game was an early draw while Khai Boon and Cheng Teik play out until they reach a K+Q+P vs K+Q+2P with favor to Khai Boon but both players is having time trouble and had to settle for a draw when Cheng Teik gives perpetual checks.
For myself, I had my nemesis of not winning any prize at PFS Open broken when I finished 4th on the final standing due to better tie breaks, the prize we get for 4th-6th is the same, so make no difference. However, I created another nemesis when I lost to Holmes again! This is the third time in a row I lost to him and that sum up to 1 win and 3 loses for me. Hmm...
Well, I had my pre-tournament objectives and goals met so I can conclude that the tournament result is good for me except without any remarkable win over any of the strong players, I guess that happens when there are only 7 rounds and the top seeds had some upset result in the earlier rounds...
Top 6 Standing of PFS Open 2007:
Champion: Chuah Heng Meng, 6.5/7
2nd: Victor Hong, 6/7
3rd: Steven Hoh, 6/7
4th: Tan Eu Hong, 5.5/7
5th: Lim Cheng Teik, 5.5/7
6th: Tan Khai Boon, 5.5/7
Coming up next: CLHS Open 2007 on 25th March which means this coming Sunday.
