After the 2009 Dato' Arhur Tan Malaysian Open (DATMO) ended on friday ( 29th August) , The Malaysian Chess Festival 2009 continued with the traditional tournament - Merdeka team event. This tournament has been held for the past 28th years and this yearis the 29th anniversary of this events. The Malaysian Chess Federation is organizing the 29th ASTRO Merdeka Rapid Open Team Chess Championship 2009 in the Ballroom, CitiTel Midvalley Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The time control is 25 mins + 10 seconds increment . A team consist of 4 or 4 + 1 (reserve) players. The Championship is being managed by Dato' Arthur Tan Chess Centre (DATCC) - the Event Manager for this event.
The Minister play against Dato Tan Chin Nam. I recorded the game and will post it soon. You will be surprise with the results and his chess ability !
The opening ceremony on Saturday was officiate by a special guest - Y.B Dato Ahmad Shabery Cheek, Minister of Youth and Sports . I think this was the first time ( correct me if i'm wrong) a sports minister of our country attend and officiate the Merdeka Chess Tournament. There have been other ministers attended the opening ceremony such as Dato' Sabaruddin Chik ( former Minister of Tourism) and even YAB Najib Tun Razak in 2006 when he was still the Deputy Prime Minister but never before the Minister of Youth and Sports . I will write more about it in future post. Below is some of the photos.
