But the BUGHOUSE event at 8:30pm REMAINS!

Due to the overwhelming number of events being organized over the weekend, the response for the Fischer Random event has not been encouraging resulting in its cancelation. MCF will also review the upcoming sessions whether it will attract enough players to start a tournament. Therefore, all the Fischer Random tournaments that are being scheduled will be put on hold until further notice.

To replace the Fischer Random sessions, MCF will conduct the MCF Office monthly/weekly Blitz events in its continuing effort to attract more players and enthusiasts to come to its office. Blitz is always a fun game to play, less stressful and as usual, offer players the opportunity play chess in a fun and fast pace excitement, while forging friendships and expanding networking among the chess community.

For the ASEAN Chess session, MCF is still looking for Trainers and players who are willing to conduct learning and sharing sessions. While the event is free for all to join, MCF has not been able to secure a trainer to conduct the learning sessions as such, the ASEAN Chess Session is being put on hold until a Trainer can be found.

MCF will continue to maintain the Bughouse Events – despite the poor showing, as these events are held at night and are quite popular among the younger generations, and fun to watch. MCF will also continue to open its doors to all players every FRIDAY night starting at 8:30pm until late, to sparring sessions, or just a once a week meet up, for players to enjoy playing chess with friends and strangers alike.

The administrator of the MCF Office would like to extend its apologies for any inconveniences caused by the cancelation of the Fisher Random and ASEAN Chess event but the Office is also confident that these events will eventually pick up momentum in the very near future.
