Additional Info: 3rd OLE-OLE SHAH ALAM CHESS OPEN 2011 or 3rd OSACO, is an annual chess tournament recommended and organized by My Chess Diary Ent. with cooperation and support from Ole-Ole Shopping Centre. The third edition offers two categories as in previous years, namely Open and Under-12. All participants and chess enthusiasts from around the country, especially from Shah Alam, Selangor are invited to participate in the 3rd OSACO.

For the first two editions, stands OSACC has been used to represent Ole-Ole Shah Alam Chess Championship. This year, the organisers of the event will replace the shortform from OSACC to OSACO. For knowledge, the runner for this event already apply to make 3rd OSACO is National Rated chess tournament that will be included in the Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF) consideration in order to determine MCF National Chess Rating. This is the main reason why the tournament is open to Malaysian chess player only.

2nd OSACC participant were most welcomed when all the participant last year received ad-hoc RM 50 voucher from the sponsors at the very last moment during the registration. This make 2nd OSACC very rare and special event, and hopefully this time, there is some more surprise and let us hoping that way

3rd OSACO is heartened by the willingness of the country’s number one chess player, IM Mas Hafizul to participate in the 3rd OSACO and to threaten to win the title from 2nd OSACC champion, Kamaluddin Yusoff and 1st OSACC champion, NM Zarul Shazwan Zulkafli. The presence of all three big names will be accompanied by a large number of other players who play a major role in determining the final position of the top 10 places in the Open Category. For the Under-12, their inclusion is expected to make this new generation even more advanced in chess in addition to taking the experience and gain the opportunity to see the country’s greatest chess players compete against each other.

Due to high demand of using digital chess clock and to maintain the tournament standard of chess set, the OSACO event will be using both tools, which is especially booked from the very well-known chess center in Kuala Lumpur, DATCC.

May the upcoming 3rd OSACO become one of the favorite chess tournament crowd in Malaysia.
