The first six months of 2010 has been utterly exhausting - KLCA-RSC Grand Prix, 3rd KL Open, 1st KL-UKM Masters - all this take enormous amounts of time at the cost of work and family and we are after all not professional chess organisers.
For sure there are plenty of independently run rapid events every week with the Malaysian and Penang Opens are still to come, and for our national players, the Olympiad in Russia and the Asian Games in China beckon.
So it is back to the real world until it is time for the next KL Open in 2011!
