8th ASIAN DRAGONS 2014 @New Taipei City - TAIWAN: Presenting Prizes for the Open Event.

( CHAMPION - 8th Asian Dragons 2014: Zaidan Zulkipli from Malaysia )

( RUNNERS-UP: Koji Noguchi from Japan )

I am honoured to have been invited by the Chinese Taipei Chess Association to hand out prizes to the winners of the Open event of the 8th Asian Dragons Chess Championship held in New Taipei City, Taiwan in July 2014. The event which was held in a stadium coincided with the holy month of Ramadhan.

The occasion was made even more memorable when Malaysia's own Dr. Zaidan Zulkipli won the event and I handed out the Champions Trophy to him.

Thank You Very Much to the Chinese Taipei Chess Association for the kind invitation and hospitality extended to the small delegation of 4 people comprising of 1 official and 3 players(1 in Open event and 2 in U-16 category) from KLCA.
