The tournament venue. MSNPP stands for Majlis Sukan Negeri Pulau Pinang 
Scene from the tournament room. The tournament room can accomodate 90 players as there are request to increase players(see GP Open1). However, the turn out is less than 60 and thus, is not justifiable for bigger venue if the quantity of participants is like this... 
Ang Zhen Wei unwary of the tiger in front of him... (NM Yeoh Chin Seng vs Ang zhen Wei, round1, 1-0) 
Kee Zijia first encounter with National Master Ng Tze Han(0-1). 
Looi Xin Hao(FIDE rating 2018) vs Tan Jia Yun(1-0). 8 years old Tan Jia Yun is one of the promising girl players in Penang. You will see more action from her next year. 
Anthony Liong vs NM Ng Tze Han(0.5-0.5), they finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. 
Tan Eu Hong vs Yeoh Li Yuan(0.5-0.5, round 10). Yeoh Li Yuan finished 2nd in U12 category. 
Parents socialising while waiting for their children. It is interesting that some parents approach me to discussion on children related behaviour(not related to chess)! (Issues like "children having fun at uncle house and don't want to go home, what should we do?", etc. I listened and did my level best to give some points... but I had to say this : Not easy to become a good parent! phew... 
Veteran Chuah Heng Meng takes the 4th prize. 
Victor Hong receive top prize from Mr. Tan Eng Seong beside that, he also receive a roaring applause from the spectators for his amazing display! 
"How do you(Yeoh Li Tian) become world number 4 players?" Perhaps this photo tell you more than words can say... (Yeoh Li Tian is champion in U12 cateogry.)
