Not Many people have participated in this year’s AUK chess tournament. 

But the games were all fun and enjoyable.

All the games have finished and everybody was knocked out except two people.

Khaled (THATS ME!) will be playing Hassan on Sunday MAY 3rd at 2:30 P.M.

The grand prize is an Ipod Nano!

Wish Me Luck 🙂

“Help Me Help You” :-)

One way is to bring in another adminstrator to update the site in Arabic!

A second idea is to post new puzzels every week or so.

And another idea… well, I will let you decide on what to do.

Saturday April 18th, 2009: Welcome New Friends!

Just a few days ago, the members of Kuwait Chess Federation met in Caribou Cafe located in the Avenues Mall.

I would like to welcome our new friends who joined us this past Saturday.

Abu Sami, Mr. Daniel and Mr. Nasser are the new members of this “club.” Thank you for joining Us! We truely enjoyed the games we had with you guys!!!

Mohamed Qabazard, Khalaf Al Azmi, Nasser Maqseed, Omran Moussawi, Hashem Ali and myself are old friends.

NEW FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED!!!

The Handshake Rule.

It’s been a while since it happened. However, we all remember when Cheparinov Refused to Shake the hands of Nigel Short, twice!

If you are offered a handshake and you refuse, than you forfeit the point automatically.

Cheparinov lost the round because of this. Don’t make the same mistake.

Watch the one minute video of the incident.

And the other video is an interview with GM Nigel Short discussing the issue with Cheparinoc and the new handshake rule.

Join Us Every Saturday at the Avenues Mall!

Good day everyone! I hope everyone is having a pleasant couple of days.

I am sure most people are upset about the postponement of the Sharg tournament.

However just because there is no tournament does not  mean you cant play and make new friends in the game of chess.

The members of the Kuwait Chess Federation meet in Caribou Cafe every Saturday at 7:00 P.M.

This week alone, we had around 10 members enjoy themselves in dozens of blitz games in the coffee shop.

Mohamed Qabazard, Nasser Maqseed, Amer Al Amer, Khalaf Al Azmi, Ibrahim Shehab, Raed Al Ahmadeih, Omran Al Moussawi, Hashem Ali, and myself were all present from around 7Pm till around 10 PM.

Other people who usually join the fun are: Kuwait Champion Bader Al Hajeri, Taher Al Khateeb, Waleed Al Awadhi, Abdulsalam Al Dakheel, Abdullah Maqseed, Ali Moussawi, and a handful of others.

So come join us this week for a couple of games and feel the joy of playing with real pieces instead of just playing online.

Just to make it clear, this is NOT a tournament… Just a couple of friends playing chess 🙂
