Putrajaya Chess Fever 1-2010

9th March 2010 - As scheduled , the first weekly Putrajaya chess gathering  was held at the Precint 9 Food Court at 6 PM. Five people turn up- Former national top player and President of Putrajaya Chess Association  - Ahmad Maliki,  2007 Putrajaya Champion - Rizal Jusah, Mohd  Firdaus Ismail - Deputy President of Putrajaya Chess Association , Muhsin Hassan - a student from Notthingam University Malaysia  and yours truly.

We basically play blitz games and discuss about opening theory and chess news. The session ended at about 9.30 PM. Unfortunately at about 10 PM , another former national player Mohd Saprin Sabri arrived at the venue  to have a look at the chess gathering . I hope Saprin will join us next week . We also hope that Putrajaya very own   Polgars - Martha James Jimponey and Nurul Huda Abd. Nasir who finish in a respectable 5th and 7th place at the 2010 Putrajaya Closed held recently will turn up for next gathering.
