This month's absolute crazy award for chess (GilaChess) goes to Lim Zhuo Ren for simultaneously taking part in 3 events from the 2019 Gibraltar tourney!
Below are the 3 events Zhuo Ren is taking part in:-
- Masters event: http://chess-results.com/tnr377792.aspx?lan=1
- Challengers A: http://chess-results.com/tnr377795.aspx?lan=1&art=0
- Challengers B: http://chess-results.com/tnr377796.aspx?lan=1&art=0
The timing of the events are:
1) Master (10 rounds)
22nd jan - 31st Jan Afternoon session
2) Challenger A (5 rounds)
21st jan - 25th Jan Morning session
3) Challengers B (5 rounds)
26th Jan - 30th Jan for Morning session
22nd jan - 31st Jan Afternoon session
2) Challenger A (5 rounds)
21st jan - 25th Jan Morning session
3) Challengers B (5 rounds)
26th Jan - 30th Jan for Morning session
Note: Challenger B only takes place after Challenger A is over. So officially Lim Zhuo Ren is only playing 2 games per day over 10 days.
His friends, Teh Wee Zhun and Fong Mi Yen are also there doing the Gibraltar "simul" but they are "only" doing 2 events so Zhuo Ren takes the January GilaChess award :)
Personally I am sure many other chess friends share the concern that the 3 Malaysians may be exhausting themselves but I trust that the timing of the events gives them space to play 3 events at the same time and they have thought it out thoroughly.
Regardless, I wish them best of luck and Malaysians will be rooting for all 3 players!
The GilaChess award is not just given to make fun.
It is an arbritary award given to individuals who shows incredible passion for the game.
