I found a new plugin that translates the blog into 48 different languages. Of course the translations are less than perfect but it gets the gist ...

   Blogger Yat stayed back in KL instead of going to NAG in Penang. He took part in a simul against CM Collin Madhavan and got some consolation for missing NAG. It’s good to see more chess simuls are they are good marketing tools to make chess more interesting ...

One of the spotlight discussion on shoutbox these few days was  the ‘controversial’ decision taken by MCF was to hold the National Age Group in Penang. I have nothing to add but an observation that Penang has a different chess culture from players in Selangor and KL.For example last year’s ...
