News Highlights
The Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF) extends its sincerest and deepest condolences to the family of FM Peter Long who has sadly passed away earlier today in Yangoon, Myanmar.
Peter Long will be remembered fondly by many in the chess community as a good friend and supporter of chess who has given so much to the sports, locally and internationally.
Throughout his chess career, Peter Long has always been very critical and vocal about the development of chess in Malaysia, a deafening voice that resonates and continuously pushing for chess improvement in the last 4 decades.
A FIDE Master, an International Arbiter, a FIDE Trainer and a chess visionary, Peter Long will be missed by many in the chess community – here at home and beyond our borders.
You will be missed
MCF is on the verge of securing an annual deal to conduct three new events that will continue to catapult the popularity of chess to a higher level.
The first is the MCF GM Invitational event that will field between 10 and 14 GMs from all around the world including a few IMs to offer the opportunity for Malaysians to earn title norms
The second is the revival of the Malaysian Masters which was last held in 2016 (corrected). The event will pit Malaysia’s best Men and Women players in a Round Robin Tournament
Finally, the 1st ever National Grand Prix – a series of events for players to collect points, with the top 32 point earners to battle out in a Knock Out format event with the winner set to earn RM10,000 – the highest cash prize ever offered to a champion in a local event.
