The EVIZ Grand Prix Series consists of three tournaments that are being held on 28 Feb, 1 May and 7 May. Players will need to fight for the grand prix points in order to be invited to the final on 4 and 5 Jun.
EVIZ Grand Prix Leg 2 was held in Jin Sin Union on 1 May and 55 players turn up to the event. It is very encouraging to know that over 30 players(more than half of participants) are from Penang’s mainland.

Round 2 – a glance in a venue. Table 7, Chem Yan Hern vs Ong Jia Xiang 1-0. Jia Xiang is from Alor Setar, if I’m not mistaken.

Yew Xin Ling is the best lady! She is only 10.
Round 3 Table 1: Lim Wei Sherng vs Ng Ern Yi 1-0. In this position, Black should play ...Rd7 and I think Black is slightly better. But in rapid game, anything can happen...
Lunch time, some go out for lunch, some still continue to play while PS Lim eating lunch.
Round 5, Table 3, Muhammad Suhaib in action with his daughter.
