Big 30

I have just completed what could be my last event in 2013 and will be flying back to Singapore tomorrow afternoon. The Indoor Games ended somewhat successfully when we tied for 4th and finished above the Philippines in the Blitz team event. Of course, there is always a luck element especially for such a short preliminary but a result is a result and hopefully this will count as something to represent Singapore in the chess events at the SEA Games later this year.

Naturally, I have a lot of thoughts about the KL Invitational Masters and the Asian Indoor Games and also came to some conclusions on how I can work towards that final GM norm and 2500 elo. I promised Peter to put up some games and have also been working on a book project for a long time now so I better put in some work in the next few months. 

And oh, I've just turned 30 which means its time to set some new year resolutions. For the moment, I better try to motivate myself to go back to work on Monday....
