First up, Tin Ruiqi, a Primary 4 student from Nanyang Primary School,has making life difficult for adult players on the chessboard in recent events. Tenacious and composed on the board even against seasoned adults, the ASEAN Youth U11 Silver Medallist and ASEAN Age Group U10 Champion has since made her first major scalp in the SCF HPE league last week.

Next, I would like to feature Eugene Wee who pulled off an upset last round win over top seed IM Steven Kim Yap at the Cairnhill Open to finish in a tie for 4th place despite being seeded 15th. The only reason your scribe was able to edge him out in Round 6 was because the youngster tried too hard to win, having eschewed many drawish continuations in his attempt to bring home the point.
At the Toa Payoh West Open, Eugene not only drew against CM Jarred Neubronner from a position of strength, he also comprehensively took out former National Champion NM Koh Kum Hong in Round 3 to share the lead.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is Glenn Wilson, the creator of ChessFlash. Thanks for using ChessFlash. Your blog looks great! One small change in how you use ChessFlash could help it look even better.
I noticed that your ChessFlash background color does not match your post background color. Your post background color is ece2cb but ChessFlash is using a different background color.
The next time your publish a game with ChessFlash if you enter ece2cb for the Background Color Override I think you will like the effect -- it will blend in better. See http://chessflash.com/pgnviewerfaq.html for more information.
Regards,
Glenn
