Life as Chess Pieces
Life is like a chess pawn determining step. It can be true, but still likes to
make mistakes.
Chelsie Monica Ignesias Aberdeen Sihite is junior National Master chess
player. At the age of 13, Chelsie managed to win the World School Chess
Championship (WSCC) 2008 in Singapore despite losing by one point for
losing to walk out (WO) due to late.
Chelsie's baseball accomplishments in doubt. Most recently, she received
the norm-acquisition points in chess. However, he took three could
become the norm for Women International Master. The youngest of
three brothers had to work hard to reap the current achievements.
Now, Chelsie had to part with his parents to enter the chess team's
training center SEA Games XXVI in Sudirman Park, Jakarta. Chelsie,
when met Move in training, claimed not to know when it will return to
his mother. "Though already missed every day," he said.
Now his job is only practice. Starting with the workout at 11:00 to 13:00
local time, then continue again at 16:00 to 18:00. Plus exercise alone in
their rooms. Each chessbase and chess players have their own databases,
the aim to study the opening (first step) opponent.
He confessed, 'envy' with friends his age. However, it paid off with a walk
out of the country to join the competition. Despite his young age, he had
stepped on Greece, Russia, India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and
Vietnam. Move when talking to her, she was talking about and full of
spirit. Hopefully my friends catch the spirit of Chelsie, yes!
At first foray into how chess anyway?
As a kid I used to see the deceased Papa play chess. Continue diajarin.
Uh, so long like. Moreover, fitting the meals when we have a pawn chess
opponent, hehe. That since 2003, when I was grade 3 elementary school.
Then it could be an athlete how?
In Aberdeen, there are chess competitions. Then, I met Mr. Nugroho,
National Master at Aberdeen. I think he saw me during the race the
Regional Championship. After that, I trained to be champions of national
and international. However, the most widely practiced anyway duel with
master-master at Aberdeen. After that ditawarin to school chess.
Actually already long ditawarin for chess school in Jakarta, but just love
mama permission in February 2009.
Academic school how?
When I moved from Aberdeen, in February 2009, I still go back and forth
because the school yesterday in Jakarta. Now, I enrolled at SMAN 1
Balikpapan. School (I) used the same principal permission, especially as
he is very supportive. Maybe his permission until the SEA Games. I
learned through online, like dikirimin matter if you want to test grade.
What are the ideals you so chess players?
Yes, I want to be a Woman Grand Master. Also want to be a doctor.
However, I think first chess, deh. Favorites Judit Polgar of Hungary, he's
really good. Until now the game is always at the guy, as Magnus Carlsen
of Norway. If from the country, of course, Mr. Utut Adianto.
Envy of baseball just another friend?
Nah really. We're equally able to enjoy their youth. However, I was lucky
because they can walk out of the country, considered to be different, and
specials. So, there are advantages. However, I like jealous when they
upload the photos again pake shirt and can play high school to the mall,
hehehe.
What remains to be a weakness you?
Hehe, ya, if the coach does, I was less diligent practice. If athletes outside,
usually will sacrifice all their time for chess. If I do, sometimes HP is still
playing, play games, hehe.
There are events that baseball can you forget it?
In Singapore, the World Student Championship 2008 round to-6 if
baseball is wrong. Our team manager mistaken departure. Because it's a
fatal mistake, we think tandingnya noon, when morning. As a result, we
lost WO once, losing by one point. But, thank God, there I won one.
What is important from playing chess?
Opening stlye everyone's different. So, depending on the opening play
chess. If the opening originally was wrong and your opponent a great
man, would immediately be punished, good baseball position, continued
to be attacked. If, however, equally new, we are wrong, he is also wrong,
haha.
There are baseball chess knowledge that can be applied in life?
There, like when I want to choose a chess move. There are several
options. I know that betulnya, but I actually try and choose another one.
Just like in our lives. We can already completely, but instead still prefer
ngelakuin errors, like baseball so grateful, hehe.
What have you dapet from here?
To be sure hell money and awards. Previously, contracts family home,
but thanks to this I was able to build their own home, hehe. That's the
most nyenengin for me.
Plan for the future?
This year I can pengin Norms that both times due to be Master of
International Women should be three times the norm. Continue to next
year can penginnya Woman Grand Master, such as sister Irene Kharisma
Sukandar.
