Klang Parade - photo report

Was I late. I’m still at the Sentral LRT station. Clock shows 9:38am when the first rounds are scheduled to start at 10am.
It would take at least an hour from here to get to Klang.

Klang Express Bus no E4 from Klang Bus stand (or ‘Pasaramakota’)

Arrived 30 minutes after the first round had already started. No chance to get in :(

Encik ‘KZ’ now a common face helping out with the pairings in many tournaments

Chess mothers having a talk. Their sons are top players too,

Sumant, Fariz (eventual champ), Zarul Shazwan (NM).

Since the tournament hall was in a shopping complex, it attracted many curious onlookers

Wonder Kid, Yeap Eng Cheam’s father with Sumant’s father, Demudu Subramaniam.

Sumant’s sister vs newly crowned National Master Zarul Shazwan

The event attracted many new faces presumably Klang local players

There were a big number of under 12 players participating. A good sign..

Lunch.

I always liked Kenny Rogers.

But it didn’t taste as good at the Klang Parade branch.

Under-18 champ vs Kamaluddin Yusof (2nd place winner)

Edward Lee had a great start with 5 wins in a row including a win vs the National Champion Zarul Shazwan.

is klang parade tournament rated?

Don’t know la Kaushal. Have to ask Tse Pin.

But I think last year’s Klang Parade Open and Seremban parade open were submitted to be nationally rated

[...] Picture report at GilaChess Patzer Photo Report. [...]

Will be rated.
