Jesshosy's Notes

The Lions Club of Kuala Lumpur Central has been constantly supportive towards their commitments on organizing the Chess Competition for the Disables. This is my 3rd time to help out in this event. This time, like the previous, the competition was held at Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur.

This would be the 12th Chess Competition for the Disables. A lot of people must be wondering…how can the blinds, the deafs and the disables compete with each other in a chess game. Let me show you how:

The stage…

The registration…

The blind chess set…

The blind chess set…

I can assure you, they really have impressive chess skills that even we can’t challenge them. The most important lesson to learn from them is of course not only on thier skills, but a high respect and tribute goes to all of the participant on their spirit to live life in despite of the imperfection that they have never asked for. Their positive attitude is definitely something all of us should learn.

The game…

The prize giving ceremony…

The end of the game…
