Another Game Against Mohd Hussein Jamil

After checking my old score sheets, I found another game between me and Mohd Hussein Jamil (Hussein). This means that we have met 3 times including the latest one at De Laguna Park Port Klang Chess Open 2009 (see here) and in all games I have to admit that I never won against him. Huu… hu… hu… .

Below is my game against Hussein during University Malaya Convocation Fiesta Chess Open Tournament 2001.

My Shortest Game

In my previous article I have mentioned that I do not remember when the last time I met Mohd Hussein Jamil in chess tournament. After checking my old score sheets, I found that I have met Hussein previously in Grand Asian Chess Challenge V (GACC V) in University Malaysia almost 9 years ago on 18th October 2000.

Interesting enough to say that it is a fact that my shortest chess game in my longest time control chess tournament.

Below is the said game.

[Event "GACC V"]

[Round "7"]
[White "Ahmad Termizi, Abdullah"]
