1 CM & 2 WCM NEWLY CROWNED!
Malaysia fortunes started to change last year when we won against Singapore with the majority of the scores came from the young talents. We also have more classical games last year compared to previous. Our juniors had shown tremendous progress in junior competitions. Starting last year Malaysians had been participating in Asian Schools, Singapore Festival, Asean Age Group, Asian Youth & World Youth while this year Malaysia had been sending players to Asian Youth, Asian Cities & Asean Age Group. The juniors are getting more exposure in international tournaments.
In the 12th Asean Age Group 2011, Tarakan which recently concluded was held from 12th-21st June 2011 had seen 10 countries from Indonesia (host), India, Kazakhstan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Phillipines, Singapore, Taiwan & Vietnam took part in 6 categories boys and girls & in the 3 events (standard, blitz & rapid). The Malaysia delegation which consisted of 30 players and 15 official/coaches/accompanying parents is head by Malaysian Chess Federation's (MCF) Secretary - Gregory Lau had obtained the overall of 4 golds, 6 silvers & 4 bronze and placed 4th of the overall standings. The only category that Malaysia didn’t take part was Boy U-16.
