Berikut adalah emel dari En. Hamid Majid selaku pengurus acara Dato’ Arthur Tan Chess Festival 2012:

Dear All

Due to Eid ul Fitri (Hari Raya) celebration in Malaysia and many other
Muslim countries, and the Istanbul Chess Olympiad being held towards the
end of August, the 9^th IGB Dato Arthur Tan Chess Festival 2012 has
experienced a less than expected entries for this year’s event. In our
effort to continue making this event a reality despite the low turnout,
the Organizing Committee at a Meeting held earlier this week has decided
to combine all the individual open events — the Dato Arthur Tan Rapid
Open, the Tan Sri Lee Loy Seng Seniors Open and the AmBank Challenge
Open, into a single open event. Despite the merger, the single open
event will continue to provide separate prizes for each playing category
with slight amendments to the prize structure and the total funds
offered. The decision was made to show a respectable response for the
event rather than to cancel the event which may damage its continuity
and future responses.

As an additional effort to continue attracting more participants for the
event, Dato Tan Chin Nam, the adviser of the event, has decided to
reduce the individual’s event Entry Fees to RM 50 for any FIDE Rated
players wanting to play in the event, and RM 100 for non FIDE Rate
players. Other tournament conditions such as event dates, number of
rounds, time control, etc. will remain as per the original format.
Please find the new Entry Form attached for your kind information and
perusals.

For those who have already registered and find the changes not
acceptable, the Organizing Committee will refund all monies in full. For
others who agree to the changes and have paid the entries in full, the
committee will refund the difference for the entry fees.

These changes will only effect the Individual Open events. There will be
no changes to the ASTRO Team event and the SWENSEN Age Group event.

We apologise for the changes and any inconveniences caused but the
alternative (cancelling the event) is not practical and unacceptable.

Hamid
