As for the 9Th Dubai Cup, I was informed that it was to end on April 30, Monday. I was surprised about this because I got the info from the NCFP forum which I thought was the official one.
I would have to check the Official result of this event.
I am so sorry for this carelessness on my part. It nver occured to me too that there could be side events for Dubai Cup.
My thanks goes to our email sender for reminding me about journalistic issues. Thank you also sending supportive emails.
To all the persons/players maligned with the posts I erroneously made, I am sorry! To all the readers or PCC, I will tell you now that staring today, I'll keep in mind of these concerns, that of making sure of the posts I make here.
