THE MAKSAK CHESS PAST CHAMPIONS AND HOST
I had been playing for KUALA LUMPUR in MAKSAK Chess Tournament since 1999 a year after being employed by the Customs Department. For the history purpose, here I present the table featuring all the hosts and the psst champions and vice champions. If anybody finds any fault about the fact above, please email to me for correction. As far as I concerned this is the best that I could recall.

MAKSAK 2010
Alhamdulillah!
That's the best description for KL team, comprises of myself as the captain, NM Kamalarifin Wahiduddin, Mohd Zambri Mohd Shariff, Azman Hisham Che Doi (The father of the prominent siblings WCM and WFM Nur Najiha and Nur Nabila, not to forget Mohd Nabil) and 2 new and formidable face, Shamsudin Mat Isa and Muhammad Rizal Jusah, not to forget, our provocative manager, Hassan, and all the MAKSWIP managment, including Abang Zul (Zulkifly Md Din) and Mr Zaini.
Also, thank you for the smooth conduct of the progress of the tournament by the IA Ibrahim Yaacob and his son, son in law and daughter. (Despite some critics and complaint made openly, I think it is not a major flaw)
My conclusion is, we won the MAKSAK Chess Championship in KL (The last time we won was in MAKSAK 2006 at KL) due to a few factors:-
1. We field 2 Rizals in our team (Well this is only symbolic)
2. I suppose we have the better preparation. This year, we even had set the line up before hand and even set who will play who (using the prediction bases on the previous database).
3. We even tried to analyse and discuss deeply, besides our favourite openings, the variation which may surface when meeting particular players.
4. We also played a few blitz (but cannot be too much as blitz will usually spoils the game) to prepare for the time trouble circumstances, and the blitz games were limited to our openig preparation only.
5. A few of us also listen to the DVDs / videos presentation available from the net by the GMs.
6. We possess the best team spirit, and confidence.
Below is my last game from the tournament this year with my arch rival Md Anis Rahimi of Kelantan. As usual, I face an unpregnable fortress position which made me think a lot and in the end suffers an extreme time trouble. But during the blitz mode, the fortune (as before this) shines with me and won by a checkmate using a pawn
