Pinoys want chess to be in the SEA games

SEDIH dan MEMALUKAN !! Peminat catur malaysia terpaksa mengharapkan Persekutuan Sukan Negara lain seperti Negara Filipina untuk melobi sukan catur dimasukkan kedalam SEA GAMES.sedihh…. :(

What to do…Tan Sri itu ialah peminat/penyokong/pemain skuasi dari dulu lagi…Begitulah alkisah nya.

GilaChess,

I was trying to impress the message that there has been/is VERY LITTLE chess publicity and even you disagreed with me before.

Look at the coverage for DATMO. Incredibly scant,incoherent and inadequate to say the least.Was it even mentioned in the press?

I do not blame you GilaChess (at least you did something), but what happened to the organisers?

Another good opportunity lost, but regretably nobody seems to have any regrets.

Correction.I remembered seeing the DPM and TCM’s foto. But they were there to cover the DPM, not DATMO.

Malaysian,u kata kita kurang publiciti.hehehe.Jangan risau sebab stonemaster dibawah syarikat saya nanti iaitu S.E.M.E akan buat satu publisiti yg TERGEMPAK di malaysia soon.100,000 surat akan diedarkan dan akan buat “guerilla marketing” seluruh malaysia dalam pembukaan “launch” PROJEK KECEMERLANGAN SUKAN CATUR (P.K.S.C.).

saya perhatikan dan selidiki sekarang,kebanyakkan orang kuat V.I.P dalam projek pembangunan catur semelaysia tidak BERKEMAMPUAN lagi atau tiada lagi usaha yang bersungguh-sungguh kearah pembangunan catur di malaysia.Mungkin salah satu sebab ialah USIA yang sudah menjangkaui melebihi 50 dan 60 tahun.Mungkin juga kurang idea kearah pembangunan dan juga mungkin budget untuk melaksanakan projek tersebut.Oleh itu S.E.M.E. akan memulakan projek tersebut dan tengok bagaimana projek itu akan bergerak selanjutnya.Saya pun dah tak sabar-sabar nak mulakan projek itu.hehehe

It’s confirmed 100% Chess will not be played in the 24th Southeast Asian Games next year in Thailand.

Very good!

Organising an international tournament without accompanying publicity is just money down the drain as far as chess development goes. More so as local entries are discouraged to participate in one way or another, eg. high cost of entry, low publicity.

By now I guess few people from overseas remember DATMO, and sad to say, Malaysians too don’t know much.

I am not saying the organisers did not work hard, but their efforts were misplaced. Just bringing in “top” players, give them food and accomodation and ensuring they make moves over the chess board and submititng the results to FIDE is not the whole game. It is how you extract 100% mileage from publicising the exercise that makes it all worth-while.

Malaysian,jadi kesimpulannya ada kurengg publisiti,hehehe.Seperti juga dulu saya mengikuti seminar USAHAWAN anjuran MARA,apa yg mereka tekankan dan cuba terapkan kepada semua usahawan melayu ialah ayat ini “SEPARUH DARIPADA KEJAYAAN SESUATU PERNIAGAAN ADALAH MARKETING/PUBLISITY”.Kalau jual nasi berani yang tersedap didunia pun tapi kalau tak tahu marketing,ramai tak akan beli nasi berani itu sebab tak tahu dimana jual nasi berani itu,hehehehe.

Betul, tapi organiser tak faham.

ehhh,malaysian, u cakap laa bahasa english,biar i sorang jeee cakap bahasa melayu kat sini.hehehehe

“Malaysian Says” talk big only. We just want to know what is your contribution to our beloved chess so far??

Skuasy also got squashed out also from SEA Games even if we have right now no. 1 player in the world or she had appeared in many advertisements. What went wrong?

Stonemaster all the best to you to alleviate chess as a one of best sports in Malaysia in the eyes of National sports Council (MSN), etc.

Remis Aman,dont worry i tengah plan BIG niii next year.hehehe.Kementerian Belia dan Sukan,MSN and OCM dalam perhatian saya semenjak 4 bulan nii.Remis Aman and Andrew Ooi will be the first 2 persons that i akan beritahu plan yang akan saya buat kalau dah siap paper work nanti.

Remis,

Why are u so rude one? Just talk only, mah.What are your contributions? You can all execute but cannot plan, what’s the use.

Spend hundreds of thousands. What are DATMO’s returns?

The organisers must change their mind set. Year in year out organise internation tournaments which few people outside chess circle, know of. If you are the organiser, you must rise to the challenge and produce results. Don’t ask others what they can do because we are not the organisers. You may say you are all volunteers, but volunteers too have undertaken a responsibility and must be man enough to take the rap. Same too you can take pride when there is success.

Don’t understand why you bring squash in. Whenever Nicol David participates or wins, it is reported in the papers.
Same with badminton, bowling,hockey,football, and even lawn bowling. But chess?… regretable no. Even if no Malaysian wins, it is an honour to hold an internation on Malaysian soil… so why no report?

Many times, people give the excuse that they just cannot get the press to be interested to report on chess in Malaysia. Not even a 5cm column once a while? But we have had weekly chess in the leisure pages sometime back and QSS still has a 2-weekly slot.

Who do you think has more following? Chess or lawn-bowling or even squash?

As a matter of interest, in the Weekend Mail August 26-27, 2006, there was s report on KL Mountain Bike Carnival. Now what is mountain biking compared to chess?

malaysian ni byk cakap lar, tapi tak ada sumbang langsung pun.

Dear Malaysian Says, I spent some time i had left after working time to do some postings in GilaChess’ website. That is my contributions here since 2002. Your comments here reminded us of the old Stonemasters’ bold postings a couple of years back. Now he is executing his plans and putting his money where his mouth is

We believe, we have to make our government officials notice first about the popularity of chess with lots of activities and get chess in their (sports) policies in order to create a “chess culture”. Getting our DPM’s words of encouragement for chess promotion is not so easy.

We could use Vietnam chess as our role model. In 1980, The National sports committee in Vietnam had decided that “chess is a one of best sports in Vietnam”.
After 26 years, Vietnam have at least 20,000 players and many skill young players have a monthly salary.

stonemaster now executing his plans and putting his money where his mouth is.hehehe.juta2 lemon tau :)

stonmaster tengah plan next year nak buat tournament yang boleh dihadiri oleh lebih 2000 peserta dalam sehari.Akan jemput Kemnterian Belia dan Sukan,MSN dan OCM acara pentup atau pembukaan.I hope project nii akan berjaya dilaksanakan tahun depan. :
Sorry UTP,Tronoh,rekod anda tidak akan bertahan lama.hehehehe
