We started our trip to the tournament venue around 8a.m. and managed to find the location after around 30 minutes of drive.

The tournament started without any rating applied as seeding. As a result, I started round 1 at table 16 which was one of the last few tables.

Evan Timothy Capel in action.

Every around went smoothly for Evan and me until round 5 where we will meet each other. We were then 4/4 and leading. The game did not go well for me and I lost the game after losing a pawn then another and finally the game.

Before the start of round 5, Eu Hong vs Evan, 0-1.

And so we went to round 6 with Evan playing White at board 1 and need a draw to clinch first. But...

Things did not turn well for him and he lost after blundering and get himself into an inferior position.
