Now that every district in Kelantan
has finished their players selection, the players should now prepare
for the MSSK which will be held in Tanah Merah in two weeks time
(I will post the details later). We want players who are worthy of their
places in the state's team, not those who are lucky, or those who comes
through back doors or wild cards, just because he or she is a
son/daughter of certain people. And to prepare, one has to have proper
trainings, either with their coaches or by themselves through extensive
reading of chess materials or playing against friends or computer chess
programmes. There is no short cuts to success; hard work is A MUST!
One
thing that players in Kelantan still lack is preparing against other
players. This can be achieved through studying their game styles and
openings which can be found in tournament bulletins. I can safely say
this because players in Kelantan DO NOT READ bulletins, thus they do not know what their would be opponents are playing.
Preparing
against your opponent will make your job easier. Grandmasters always
make home preparation against their opponents. When I was playing in
Kuala Lumpur some time ago, I always prepared against my opponents,
especially in big tournaments such as the Royal Selangor Open. I have
written about home preparation many times in my blog (you can read them here) but still Kelantan players attitude does not change.
Hopefully Kelantan players will go far and stamp their mark this coming MSSM.
CHAIYOK RED KNIGHTS!
