Olympian goals.

What is our goal for the Olympiads? Do we want to maintain our current position in world team ranking or move up? What is acceptable and unacceptable results?

After the event, will we have a postmortem? Was the goal realistic? What did we do right and what needs to be improved? Did all the team members perform to expectation? If not, why not?

If we don't have this, how will we know if the officials did their jobs properly or were there just for a holiday and for side deals. Was the training sufficient? Did the officials bungle because they got the players to stay in an igloo miles from the tournament hall and our players had to jog to the playing hall after trying to start a fire all night long with flints to cook their meals?

Were the players there to play chess or to sell books and make business deals?

And after a thorough and honest postmortem, do we put in place measures to improve on the next outing?

It all starts with MCF putting up on their blog now, what our Olympian goals are.

Note to MCF officials: We do not begrudge you a decent remuneration for any good job that you do. But we do begrudge you taking away all the money from the Associations to only benefit yourself and give us nothing in return. You are not working and you want to get paid. You are not working but you want ALL of the money.

We will be following the Olympiad closely. We want to see how you make decisions and whether you are fit to lead us.

And then you must do the same for all events where we fly the Malaysian flag.
