This Game Made Malaysian Chess History!

With all the Malaysian IMs having retired from active competition, it is great to have a new kid on the block!
Excerpts are taken from IM Poh Yu Tian's live interview with yours truly.

bro i did terribly in that tournament

[@thechessfm]

So did many of my students. It's alright, we have good and bad tournaments, but what matters is how we bounce back from setbacks.

[@goodlifebdg]

Why all other IM retired from competition ?

[@thechessfm]

A variety of reasons really. For some, their age is catching up to them, while others have given up chess to focus on their career.

[@thechessfm]

When I last spoke to him, he was focusing on his career. Fingers crossed that we see him back at the Malaysian Open this year!
