On Thursday, I will be competing in what appears to be the strongest chess tournament in the history of Singapore Chess - the QCD - Prof Lim Kok Ann GM Invitational. This 10-player round robin event allows both local and regional participants the opportunity to compete against strong Grandmasters and make further progress in their bid to become future International Masters and Grandmasters of Singapore.

Blindfold Chess Challenge
On 9 June (Saturday) 2018 at Metropolitan YMCA (Palm Room), we will host an attractive side event: a two-game blindfold chess match between GM Timur Gareyev (sans sight of the board), the top seed of the event and holder of the current world record in simultaneous blindfold play, and NM Olimpiu G. Urcan, a Singapore-based historian and author. The games are played at a rate of 25 minutes and 10-second increment per player and will start at 4:00 pm.
