tan wee kim ( NJC- team B ) - Ong Wei Chian ( PJC )
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4.e3 0-0 5.Bd3 d6 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.0-0 e5 8. d5 Ne7 9.b4 Ne8 10.e4 h6 11.c5 f5 12.Nh4 f4 13.Nf3 g5 14.Kh1 Ng6 15.Ng1
i don't understand.. why is his knight going round the world?
15... Nf6 16.Be2 g4 17.f3 h5 18.Bd2 Rf7 19.Rc1 Bf8 20.Na4 Rg7
white is not doing anything on the queenside like he is supposed to.. black has all the play on the queenside.. the pawn storm begins
21.Be1 Be7 22.b5 gf3
it took me like 15 minutes to play this move.. i rememeber by this time.. there were lots of people crowding round the table.. got a bit kan chiong i guess.. =/
23.Bf3 Ng4 24.Bf2 Bh4 25.Bh4 Nh4 26.Qe2 Ne3 27.Rf2 Qg5 28.Nh3 Bh3
he was already in time trouble.. so he played the bad move.. there was no defence for black anyway..
29.gh3 Kh8
wanting to double the rooks on the g-file
30.Qe1 Nf3 0-1
haha.. zhen yang said Nf3 was the highlight of the match.. there is absolute no way the black queen can escape while preventing mate..

amazingly.. the final score read NJC-team B 2-2 PJC-team A.. i cannot believe we managed to draw with them despite our weak team

2nd game was practically crap la.. also 30 moves..
johnny ( JJC ) - Ong Wei Chian ( PJC )
1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 e6 3.Nf3 a6 4.Bc4 b5 5.Bb3 c4
i guess everyone gets the picture huh?
6.Bc4 bc4 7.0-0 Bb7 8.d3 cd3 9.cd3 d6 10.Be3 Be7 11.Rc1 Nd7 12.d4 Nf6 13.e5 de5 14.de5 Nd5 15.Nd5 Bd5 16.a3 0-0 17.b3 h6 18.Qc2 Ba3 19.Rcd1 Rb8 20.Rb1 a5 21.Bg5??
OMG! -_-
21... hg5 22.Nd4 Qe7 23.g4 Rfc8 24.Qd1 Ne5 25.f3 bc5 26.Rf2 Rb4 27.Rd2 Rd4 28.Qc2 Rd2 29.Qc5 Qc5 30.Kf1 Qf2 0-1
this game was really easy.. i was watching the other games the whole time.. i even remembered the whole game for the 2 boards beside me!
ok.. just like the game.. we thrashed JJC 4-0

haha.. then the 3rd round.. disaster struck! NJC-team A -PJC-team A.. omg.. their team is like yap ze liang.. louis.. zhen yang.. ai lin.. we practically stood no chance la!

Ong Wei Chian ( PJC-team A )-louis lim ( NJC-team A ) -
1.Nf3 Nf6 2.b3 d5 3.Bb2 Bf5 4.g3 c5 5.Bg2 e6 6.0-0 Nc6 7.d3 Be7 8.Nbd2 Rc8 9.Re1 bg6 10.e4 de4 11.de4 Qc7 12.Nh4 Rd8 13.Ng6 hg6 14.Qc1
man.. the queen's really in an awkward postition..
14...0-0 15.a3 b5 16.h3 Rd7 17.Nf1 Rfd8 18.Ne3 Nd4 19.a4
this move actually took me 15 minutes of the allocated 45!
19...a6 20.ab5 ab5 21.Bc3 b4 22.Bb2 Ne8 23.Nc4 e5 24.Bd4 Rd4 25.Bf1 Bf6 26.Bd3 Nd6 27.Ne3? Ne4
man.. this was really stupid.. 27.Nd6 and my position will be solid.. this just loses a pawn..
28.Ra6 Nc3 29.Qa1 e4 30.Bc4 Rc4!
this caught me by surprise!
31.Nc4 Ne2 32.Re2 Ba1 33.Ra1 f5 34.Rae1 Rd4 35.Kg2
at this point of time.. both of us were left with 5 mintues.. and then a mad time scramble came to life! my god! in the end.. it was K+R+N+4P vs K+Q+5P with very good drawing chances for white.. when the game ended in a draw.. ai lin and zhen yang jumped onto the board immediately! they .. "louis! why did you draw!" but further analysis proved that it was totally a draw if careful play was observed.. 1/2-1/2

ok.. we lost to NJC- team A 3.5-0.5.. not surprising.. their whole team comprises of national players! at least i stopped them from winning 3 4-0 wins in a row! =)

i really enjoyed the game against louis! we were the last to finish! and there was this SUPER BIG crowd watching the game.. pressure!

3 games.. 2 wins and a draw.. 4 more tmr..

had burger king with the chess peeps later.. then home to analyze those games of mine..

out!~

GBY!~

WE ARE THE KINGS OF EUROPE!~ YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!~
