The NCFP National Age Group and National Juniors is scheduled on the first two weeks of April 2008, let's hope and pray NCFP will be wiser this time and use a venue much suitable to our age groupers needs. Needs like well ventilated playing hall, enough silence and of course enough chess equipments (working clocks).

Whatever happened to the Torre-Antonio Match? As I was checking the press release, it says Summer of 2008... I guess no confirmed date yet. Hmmmm?

Till then!
