Tang Wei Kit(left) and Teoh Ern Sheng(right) is action(round 2). Back gorund is Grand Prix 3 under way. Teoh Ern Sheng played well thru out the tournament except the critical round 6 where he blunder a queen at move 7. Queen is dead and hope is dashed - a painful lesson but looking at the good side, this could be a good lesson for life! 
Mr. Khor Bean Hwa came in to be Arbiter in the second half of the tournament. 
Tang Wei Kit's family doing homework while Wei Kit(not in photo) cracking his head(round 5). Not a minute is waste for this family. 
Parents waiting for good news patiently. With their support, children's chess improvement is only possible. 
The start of final round. It is a good trend(and also surprises) that 2 girls are on top 1 and 2 table --> Kelly Lim vs Ooi Zhi Yang(0-1) and Ang Zhen Yuan vs Chuah Yi Ning(0-1) 
Chuah Yi Ning's parents talking/discussing with Pn. Hong(PCA exco) and Ooi Kiam Boon(Ex PCA exco) while waiting for final round result
