Rebranding Of GiLoCatur


Top: En. Saleh Abd Latif (above) busy blogging in the rest hall below the playing hall in Bitara Siswa Building, UPSI.
During the recent UPSI Chess Open 2009 in Tanjung Malim, Perak, I suddenly noticed that En Saleh of GiLoCatur webmaster has been wearing a new shirt with the words "GiLoCatur" on his new orange-white short sleeve shirt. And on the back of his shirt is shown the address of his website :   http://gilocatur.blogspot.com/.

Top: If you look closely on his left breast shirt(above), the new slogan "GiloCatur" clearly shown.

And if you have been following the UPSI Chess Open, one will find that En. Saleh will do his blogging just about anywhere there is a wall plug for his laptop. Since he has a mobile broadband device attached to his laptop, makes him even more mobile. So I was surprised to see him doing his blogging just outside the playing hall, busy blogging with the laptop on his lap. I took a photo with Izam, the President of the UPSI Chess Club as proof for readers to see.

Top: GiloCatur and Izam outside the playing hall in Bitara Siswa, UPSI.

After the 6th Round of the Deepavali Chess Rapid (10.20.30) 2009 held at Excel Chess Academy, OUG, Kuala Lumpur on the 17th October 2009, the up-and-coming youngster, Lim Zhuo Ren, the second seeded, is now clear leader at 6.0 full points.

Closely following behind him is Mark Siew with 5.0 points. A pack of six players with 4.5 points is within firing distance of the two front runners. This chasing pack includes Muhd Syakir Shazmeer, Mohd Fadli Zakaria (alias Stonemaster), Muhd Nabil, Muhd Irfan Haqqim, Jeff Tan Jun Feng, and WFM Nur Najiha.

The top seed of the tournament Abdullah Che Hassan is way back at no. 9 with 4.0 points bunched together with Jax Tham, WCM Nur Nabila, Muhd Aziz Farhan, Chong Kwai Kun and Mohamed Ismail.

With four more rounds of play, the field is still quite open. Who knows? A new up-and-coming player might just be the new star of this year's Deepavali Rapid Chess.

The tables below rank the players by the number of points won up to the sixth round of play and the second table below is the starting line-up for tomorrow morning at 9.30 am sharp at Excel Chess Academy, 18th October 2009 (Sunday).

Ranking After 5th Round and Pairings For 6th Round, Deepavali Rapid Chess (10.20.30) 2009

On the first day of the Deepavali Rapid Chess (10.20.30) 2009 held at Excel Chess Academy, Overseas Union Garden, Kuala Lumpur on 17th-18th October 2009. After the 5th Round, Lim Zhou Ren is the clear leader with 5.0 full points from five rounds of play.

Some of the seeds have taken a tumble as Abdullah Che Hassan has stumbled in the 4th round while Jax Tham, the veteran chess player, took a beating at the hands of a youngster named Irfan.

The situation room is heating up in the Deepavali Rapid Chess and will continue tomorrow over four more rounds of intense play jostling to take the lead at the Deepavali Rapid Chess 2009.

Following discussion and feedback from all players, the organisers of the event has decided to extend today's play to six rounds and leave the remaining four rounds of play for tomorrow, 18th October 2009.

The following tables will provide:
a. the ranking of players after the 5th round of play; and,
b. the second table, the pairings of the sixth round of play.
