IM Mas Hafizulhelmi sedang bercuti selama 18 bulan semata-mata ingin mengejar cita-cita beliau untuk menjadi GM (Grandmaster). Marilah kita mendoakan kejayaan beliau untuk menjadi GM pertama Malaysia.
Sewaktu mencari-cari di alam maya tentang kebaikan bermain chess atau "catur" di dalam Bahasa Malaysia, pautan berikut memberikan jawapan yang bagus. Laman berikut menyenaraikan "Kenapa Bermain Catur?" berdasarkan kajian-kajian yang telah dilakukan.
Sebenarnya jumlah kelab catur di negara ini masih jauh ketinggalan jika dibandingkan di negara-negara lain. Jika ada pun mungkin kebanyakan kelab-kelab ini yang tidak aktif atau "hidup segan mati tak mahu". Artikel di pautan ini boleh dijadikan panduan kepada mereka yang ingin membuka sebuah kelab catur terutamanya kelab catur sekolah. Diharapkan lebih banyak lagi kelab-kelab catur yang diujudkan dan aktif dengan pelbagai aktiviti.
