my games

2nd round: Thomas Lim(UR) 0-1 Ong Wei Chian (2047)
this game was really lucky for me.. was initially losing.. then managed to bring his king to the centre.. and a rook sacrifice won the game in 25 moves..

3rd round :Zakaria B Saleh ( 2113) 1-0 Ong Wei Chian (2047)
bugger.. had the early advantage.. but then made a mistake by exchanging queens.. =( lost in 50 moves.. the endgame was really scary.. made many moves with 1 second left on my clock..

4th round : Ong Wei Chian (2047) 0-1 Law Zhe Kang (2209)
shit shit shit! the position was drawn! but i made a mistake that lost my rook for a bishop and a pawn.. time trouble again.. sian..

6th round: Ong Wei Chian (2047) 1-0 Kevin Mygar (UR)
had a very decisive attack with the sicilian and won in 25 moves

7th round :Shahrulizun Zainal Abidun (UR) 0-1 Ong Wei Chian (2047)
i liked this game.. king's indian.. he whacked my queenside and i went for his king.. had to give up my white square bishop for a knight.. but a decisive attack on the king won me a rook and 2 pawns for a bishop.. won in the endgame in 52 moves

8th round : Ong Wei Chian (2047) 0-1 FM Tirto (2370)
aiya.. was expected to lose this game.. so i played the solid Nf3-g3-Bg2 thingy.. and actually had the advantage in the middle game.. had 2 knights and a bishop against 2 bishops and a knight with a closed position.. but then my bishop became a bad one and he won the game in the endgame.. 60 moves..

overall.. i think i really played well! even siong said that i played super solid during this competition.. as compared to the way i play the chess club members.. =) and i think what he said was quite true.. because i had good positions against all the strong players.. and brought them to the endgame..

oh yes.. i played pool with one of malaysia's best players! can tell la.. although i only lost 11-1.. 1 game already not bad! ok la.. that game he really give chance.. left with a straight black ball.. then he GL.. go and try and bank.. then i got a straight ball.. =) thanks for giving me face man!

ya.. i think that's what i really did in malaysia.. gotta go to school tmr.. =( i dunno whether i'm gonna use the crutches or not..
