Lunar New Year Chess Fiesta 2012

This is the first event that LZ participate that was held in the mall.  I wasn't very keen honestly but the kids want to and it was to support Philip (the organiser).  Well, for the fun and to be with their friends, I signed them up.  I thought it wasn't a good idea as there's too many people walking around the mall and it will be a distraction for my kids.

 While waiting for the first round to start...

 Chatting & playing with friends that he knew through competitions.

 Caught him playing hand game while waiting for the game to start.  That means he was getting restless.

 Now you know why I said it's a distraction.  Parents were all standing too close to the tables. 

 My dreamer....  Probably thinking what to have for dinner! Haha... 

 What a surprise!  L was the RUNNER-UP for the girls! 

My girl was so happy to have such a big trophy!   Well done girl! ♥

My boy did not want to take any pic after the event...  He was very disappointed that he did not win any medal.  He can't understand why jiejie gt a trophy when she won lesser games and he knew he would have if he had not blundered the rounds that he shouldn't have.  I explained that for girls, they have lesser players (in most competitions).  It's ok son, just do better at the next competition. ♥ Z was in the 10th position for U10.  Actually he did pretty well.
