Event INFO.

This is also the first time he's taking part in a FIDE-rated event for the U-16 category.

RESULTS

UPDATE 1 @ 14 July:
Round 1: 1PM - lost   (1619)
Round 2: 9AM - WON (1636)
Round 3: 3PM - Draw (NR)

UPDATE 2 @ 15 July:
Round 4: 9AM - Draw (1530)
Round 5: 3PM - Draw (1602)
After the conclusion of rounds and the release of the pairings for Round 6 on Thursday, the cHEss pIRATE is on schedule to get his maiden FIDE rating. Taking into account his results at the 41st Selangor Open in KL where he played against 4 FIDE-rated players, he just needs to play against a minimum of 2 more FIDE-rated players...one of which he'll be playing in the 6th Round. Hopefully, he gets to play against at least another FIDE-rated player in the final 3 rounds.

Based upon his results against the previous 8 FIDE-rated players his provisional rating (as per FIDE website, HERE ) would be 1558 (1498, assuming the next game is taken into account with a worst case scenario ).

UPDATE 3 @ 17 July:
Round 6: 9AM - lost (1447)
Round 7: 3PM - lost (NR)

UPDATE 4 @ 18 July:
Round 8: 9AM - BYE
Round 9: 2PM - WON (NR)

(TBC)
