Temuramah Bersama Abdul Haq Mohamed

TEMURAMAH BERSAMA  ABDUL HAQ MOHAMED 

Tahniah di atas kejayaan Abdul Haq (photo di bawah) dalam  menganjurkan 2010 National Chess Championship di Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM)  buat julung kalinya. Tolong terangkan kejayaan pihak UKM yang mendapat kepercayaan Persekutuan Catur Malaysia (MCF) untuk menganjurkan kejohanan tersebut pada tahun ini?

Kejayaan penganjuran Kejohanan Catur Kebangsaan yang berprestij ini merupakan kerjasama erat berdasarkan kepercayaan terhadap satu sama lain dan sikap bertolak ansur di antara UKM melalui Pusat Sukan UKM dan MCF.  

Adakah penyertaan tahun ini lebih baik berbanding tahun lepas?

Ya. Penyertaan tahun ini ternyata lebih baik jika dibandingkan pada tahun lepas memandangkan jumlah penyertaan bagi kedua-dua kategori telah meningkat kepada suatu angka yang sukar dipercayai oleh semua.

Apa perbezaan yang ada pada kejohanan ini berbanding yang lepas?

Perbezaan paling ketara ialah apabila nama `National Closed` yang sinonim di kalangan peminat catur Malaysia telah ditukar kepada `National Chess Championship atau NCC`. Selain itu, jumlah terkumpul hadiah telah meningkat sehingga mencecah 5 Ribu Ringgit. Malah saya sendiri boleh dilihat sebagai perbezaan jika saudara Hairul bersetuju :)

Adakah kejohanan tahun ini berjalan dengan lancar?

Kejohanan NCC pada tahun ini saya kira telah berjalan dengan begitu lancar sekali memandangkan NCC kali ini saya kira telah melibatkan 3 pihak yang terlibat iaitu pihak Pusat Sukan UKM, MCF dan sekretariat NCC.

Apa maklumbalas yang anda terima mengenai kejohanan ini dari para peserta dan penonton? 

Pelbagai maklumbalas telah diterima secara langsung mahupun tidak langsung. Peserta sudah pasti gembira apabila kenaikan jumlah hadiah memberi impak kepada jumlah penyertaan peserta yang turut disertai oleh kebanyakan peserta berpengalaman, sehinggakan memberi peluang kepada peserta unrated untuk mendapatkan rating FIDE. Penonton yang terdiri daripada ibu-bapa pula memberikan kata-kata semangat yang membina keyakinan saya untuk terus mengekalkan dan menjayakan konsep yang telah diperkenalkan oleh pihak sekretariat NCC.

Ini merupakan kali kedua pihak UKM menganjurkan kejohanan yang agak besar selepas UKM Master baru-baru ini yang melibatkan para pemain dari luar negara. Adakah UKM akan menganjurkan lagi kejohanan-kejohanan besar di masa akan datang?

Ya. UKM akan terus menjayakan pertandingan catur samada besar atau kecil. UKM Masters dan NCC telah menjadikan UKM antara `venue` pertandingan yang semakin dikenali oleh peserta catur tempatan mahupun luar negara. Jika tiada halangan, UKM bakal menjayakan Kejohanan Catur Pesta Konvo UKM pada 7 Ogos 2010 seperti yang dirancangkan oleh pihak secretariat Konvo UKM. Jika tiada masalah, GM tournament bakal dilaksanakan pada bulan September! Banyak lagi idea-idea yang pasti dilaksanakan juga seperti Kejohanan Catur Alumni UKM dan sebagainya J 

Tolong ceritakan hubungan anda dengan pihak UKM?

Sehingga jawapan ini diberikan, saya masih lagi berstatus pelajar UKM dan juga bekerja secara kontrak di salah sebuah institut penyelidikan bioteknologi di bawah pentadbiran UKM.
  
Apakah ada  program2 catur lain oleh pihak UKM   pada masa akan datang?

Ya, sudah tentu. Pelbagai idea telah dilontarkan kepada saya.  Kini, hanya masa menentukan. Terima kasih dan saya berharap pihak UKM dan anda akan lterus menganjurkan program2 catur bagi memeriahkan sukan catur Malaysia.  


Terima kasih kerana sudi untuk memberi kerjasama dalam sesi temuramah ini.

Terima-kasih juga kepada saudara Hairul kerana sudi menjayakan interview ini.

Haq beat IM Situru !


18th April 2010 - When i labelled him the Incredble Hulk ,  i really mean it. Yes, Abdul Haq has just created a sensation after beating Indonesian  IM - Nathannael Situru in round 7, UKM Master which was held this morning. Situru is no ordinary IM. I still remember he once beat GM John Nunn in the 1994 Moscow Olympiad. The Indonesian who is playing black, introduced a novelty (8...b4) in the Sicilian Najdorf , English Attack Variation where Nunn was re known as the specialist - and won the game!

Back to Haq victory, this win  boost his performance rating to 2309. An excellent achievement considering he is the lowest rated player  in this tournament. I think if he were told before this tournament that he will get 3 points in the final standings,  he would surely be satisfied. Now he got two more games against Indian player - Nirav Rajasuba (2183) in round 8 today and Akash Takur (2355) also from India in the last round tomorrow. I hope he will get the best out of it!


IM Nanthannael Situru (2358)  vs Abdul Haq (2057)
UKM Master, Round 7, 18.4.2010

Analysed by Centaur (Hairulov + Fritz)


1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. O-O Nd4
    
Haq choose the delayed Bird Variation or can i called it a Berlin-Bird Hybrid Variation!? . The original version in Bird Variation is black play Nd4 on the third move (without 3.Nf6). This variation is an off beat variation but a good surprise against a much higher rated opponent especially in a `nothing to lose situation`. 5. Nxd4 exd4 6. d3 6. e5! Nd5 7. Qg4 c5  And black will have serious difficulty to develop his black square bishop.(7... Nb4 8. a3 Nxc2 9. Ra2 and the knight on c2 will be trap.) 6... c6 7. Ba4 d6 Theory recommend 7... d5 8. Bg5 dxe4 9. dxe4 Be7 10. e5 Nd5 11. Bxe7 Nxe7 12. Bb3 O-O 8. Bg5 Be7 9. Nd2  b5 9... Qa5!? attacking both white`s bishop on g5 and a4 is worth consideration because white will have to surrender his double bishop. 10. Bxf6 Bxf6  10. Bb3 Be6 11. Nf3 Qb6 12. h3 Bxb3 13. cxb3



White probably want to utilize the open c-file but it seems that it is black who benefit from it. Normal is 13. axb3 13... h6 14. Bd2 O-O 15. Qe2 White can also play the standard idea 15. Nh4 Rfe8 16. Nf5 Bf8  15... Rfc8 16. a4 bxa4 17. Rxa4 c5 18. e5?! 18. b4 !? is better. 18... dxe5 19. Qxe5 If 19. Nxe5 Qxb3 20. Rfa1 Qxb2 21. Rxa7 Qxa1+! sacrifice the queen for the initiative 22. Rxa1 Rxa1+ 23. Kh2 Bd6 19... Qxb3 20. Ra3 Qb7 21. Re1 Re8 22. Ra2 Qb3 Now white will lose his d3 pawn which give white a passed d-pawn. . White should have look back on his 13th move cxb3. 23. Rea1 Qxd3 24. Rxa7 Rxa7 25. Rxa7 Bf8 26. Qf4 Qb1+ 27. Kh2 Qxb2


Now black have another passed pawn on - c which connected with his d-pawn . 28. Ra6 Qb8 28... Ne4! Threatening Bd6 is stronger 29. g3 Qb7 30. Ra1 Bd6 29. Qxb8 Rxb8 30. Bxh6 gxh6 31. Rxf6 d3  Black connected passed pawn march into victory! 32. Rf5 Rd8  Preventing white from playing Rd5 33. Nd2 Rd4 34. Rf3 Bd6+ 35. g3 Bc7 36. Rf5 Ba5 37. Nf1 37. Nf3 also didn`t help 37... Bb4 38. Re5  (38. Nxd4?? 
a horrible slip d2 39. Nc2 d1=Q ) 38... c4 39. Rb5 (39. Nxd4?? d2) 39... d2 37... Bb4 Black prepares d2 38. Ne3 d2 39. Nd1 Re4 40. Rd5 Re1 41. Ne3  41. Nb2 praying for a miracle Rc1 42. Kg2  c4 winning. 41... Rxe3 !!


here's the full point and black resign because nothing can stop black from queening. 41... Rxe3 42. Rd8+ (42. fxe3 c4 43. Kg2 c3 44. Kf2 c2) 42... Kg7 43. fxe3 c4  0-1 White resign.

The Incredible Haq (Hulk)


Abdul Haq (Hulk)  Muhammad who is playing for UKM team produced an incredible play in the second round of the 3rd DATCC Team Event held last Wednesday. He beat  - Ian Udani who play  board 1 for  Team AU.

Ian Udani (left) lost to Abdul Haq 



Ian Udani   vs Abdul Haq Muhammad
3rd DATCC Team Event, Round 2, 31.3.2010

Analysed by Hairulov and Fritz

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. cxd5 Ian choose the Exchange variation. A rather solid variation of the Queen Gambit Declined. In the past, he always choose to fianchetto his kingside bishop and play a Catalan setup.


4...exd5 5. Bg5 Be7 6. Qc2 O-O 7. Nf3 Nbd7 8. e3 h6 9. Bh4 c5 


10. Be2 10. dxc5  White can choose to play against black isolated d-pawn with 10... Nxc5 11. Be2 Be6
12. O-O Rc8 13. Qb1 Nfe4 14. Bxe7 Qxe7 15. Nb5 Bg4 16. Qd1 a6 17. Nbd4


10... b6 Now the game transpose into the Tartakower variation. 


11. O-O Bb7 12. Rfd1 Ne4 13. Bxe7 13. Nxe4?! dxe4 14. Bxe7 Qxe7 


13... Qxe7 14. dxc5 Nxc3 15. Qxc3 bxc5  Black has new hanging pawns: c5+d5  


16. Bb5 16. Qa3 a6 17. Rac1 


16... Nf6 17. Rac1 Rfc8 After the game i suggest  17... Rac8 18. Qa3 Ba8?!  Better according to Fritz is 18... Rc7 19. Qxa7 Ra8 20. Qb6 Rxa2  


18. Qe5  Ian is in a mood to play a simple game by exchanging queen and pieces. Probably his idea is to target black`s hanging pawn (c and d pawn) 


18...Kf8! Haq wisely choose a better way to exchange the queen. It`s like his saying to his opponent ` you are the want who ask for queen exchange not me`  


19. Qxe7+ Kxe7 Black improve his king position 


20. Nd2 a5 21. Nb1 Ba6 22. Bxa6 Rxa6 23. Nc3 Ke6 24. Na4 White pressure on c5 was easily parried by black 


24...Rac6 25. f3  White also think it`s a good time to improve his king position. 


25...Nd7 26. Kf2 f5 27. Rc2 Nf6 28. Rdc1 Nd7 29. Ke2 g5 30. Rc3 f4 Black gets more space 30...
c4!? With the idea of Ne5-Nd3 seems a good choice


31. Kd2 Kd6 32. Re1 32. b3 Re8


32... Ne5 33. b3 Controls c4


33...d4 33... c4 !?


34. exd4  cxd4 35. Rxc6+ Rxc6 Black has a new passed pawn: d4 


36. Nb2 Kd5 37. Rc1?  37. Nd3! blockading the black passed pawn should be considered Nxd3 38. Kxd3 Rc3+ 39. Kd2  Black has slight advantage due to his space advatage but he will find its hard to make progress. 


37... Rxc1  38. Kxc1 g4! 39. fxg4 Nxg4 


40. Kd2 Probably Ian missed that after 40. h3? Ne3   the g pawn will fall 40... Nxh2 40... Ne3! also strong for e.g 41. Ke2 Ke4 42. Nd3 $17 Nxg2 43. Nc5+ Kf5 44. Nb7 Ne3 45. Nxa5 Ke4


41. Ke2 Ke4 42. Nd3 Ng4 43. Nc5+ Kd5? 43... Kf5! 44. a3 Ne3 45. b4 axb4 46. axb4  Nd5 47. Kd3 Nxb4+ 48. Kxd4 Nc2+ 49. Kd3 Ne1+ 50. Ke2 Nxg2 


44. Nd3  Ne3?!  44... Ne5 45. Nxf4+ Ke4 


45. Kf3 Nxg2!? According to Abdul Haq, white have about 2 minutes left after his 45th move so he choose to make a practical sacrifice to confuse Ian. 


46. Kxg2 White wins a piece but black has three passed pawn.  46...Ke4 


47. Nc5+??  0-1 White lost on time. White should have played 47.Nf2 Ke3 48.a3 d3 49.b4 axb4 50.axb4 and white have to abandon his isolated passed pawn and stop white passed pawn on the queen side which would  end the game in a draw for e.g 50...Kd4 51.b5 Kc5 52.Nxd3 Kxb5 = . The final move 47.Nc5?  is a blunder because after 47...Ke3  Black will win the pawn race for e.g  48. a3 h5 49. b4 axb4 50. axb4 h4 51. b5 f3+ 52. Kg1 h3 53. Nd3 Kxd3 54. b6 Ke3 55. b7 f2+ 56. Kh2 f1=Q win
