13th Asean age group results.

Here.

The medal tally is at the bottom.

Are we even slipping further behind in International age group events? Why would that be? Don't we have the largest number of tournaments in the region? When would it be the right time to see the real situation and do something about it? When we are dead last and cannot slip any further behind anymore?

What is our much vaunted CTEP programs and Chess University producing? Is MCF doing something to stop the slide or are they preoccupied with more important events?

Maybe that is why we see the struts. They have a secret program that our players don't know about yet that will soon produce results to astound us all.

Note: Size of contingent matters too. China may have only sent 1 player for instance. But do look at the type of training offered by Singapore as a simple comparison with our own approach. Where and what is our preparation? Where is our will to win? Is our only goal making money and free holiday for officials?

What will happen to our talented kids over time if they keep getting hammered? Is it because the others are better or is it because we have let them down by sending them out time and time again without proper training? Who's responsibility is that? Look at the Singapore example again.
