SKBJians at Encik Ismail Ahmad's MBR Chess Simultaneous

Below are several pictures of the Chess Simul event held at Markas Briged Tengah, Cheras on 26th March 2009. A number of SKBJ chess players were among the 120 opponents of Encik Ismail Ahmad, the former World Police Chess Champion. It is a great honour for SKBJ chess players to be invited and part of a Malaysian Book of Record feat.

It is even better when Irfan Rendrawan, the 2009 PPD Petaling Pedana L12 first runner-up, won while few others (Aminur, Affan, Ihsan & Aina Farzana) drew.

Below are the medals, awards and photo gallery of Encik Ismail Ahmad in chess. His achievements and success in chess shall be followed and role model for all SKBJians especially and Malaysian kids generally. He started quite late in chess. His determination, discipline, dedication, passion, effort, patience and sacrifice has made him what he is today in chess. 

Hopefully all SKBJians especially its chess players will be motivated to succeed in chess seeing below pictures.

SKBJ HEBAT! History Made in MSSM 2009!

Alhamdulillah, a history has been made by a Year 5 Chengal SKBJian, Anis Fariha Saleh. She won Under 12 Girls Team event along with her other teammates, Puteri Rifqah Fahada Azhar (LGT), Puteri Munajjah Azhar (LGT) and Ee Sun Xin (PU) in the recent MSSM Chess Championship held in Goldcourse Hotel, Klang from 16th to 20th March 2009.  It is even sweetest victory since the Selangor chess contigent is the overall champion for 2009 MSSM Chess edging the KL team. The Selangor team won 4 Golds, 2 Silvers and 2 Bronzes.

Therefore, SKBJ students can excel in anything if great efforts and hardwork been made. Hopefully, this record and feat with many others will be a great motivation for all SKBJians to excel and succeed in any curriculum, tournament, contest and competition. 

For chess, hopefully, the success will continue every year and more SKBJians come forward to represent the state in the MSSM. Continue learning and practising chess and participate in as many as chess tournaments as possible. SKBJ teachers and parents can work together to ensure such excellence and success to continue. Many have acknowledge about SKBJ like SK Jenjarom being a strong horsepower in MSS chess tournament. So, SKBJ Chess Club needs to keep and maintain this in many years to come. 

THANK YOU! to every one who contributes and makes efforts to the success and feats achieved by the SKBJ Chess Club.
