Missed last year's 1st editition of the KIMMA tourney for the simple reason I didn't know about it.

This year did not plan to go either unless someone 'ajak'. So happen the 'Chess Tourist' from Faccebook did, so I went.

Going alone, it was an adventure. I only knew it was somewhere near the old DATCC centre at Wilayah Kompleks so I started there. Spent 10 minutes time circling Wilayah Kompleks because I wanted free parking and not pay the RM10 at the nearby parking lot.

Using WAZE and Google Maps I found this place:

.. which turned out NOT to be the place.

Third time's the charm. Finally saw this place after figuring out which direction was which in Google Maps.
