Chess career
Inspired during his formative years by former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov and Malaysia’s pioneering International Master (IM) Jimmy Liew, a two-time national titleholder, Abdullah developed his chess prowess.
He secured the national championship twice in a row, winning in 1988 and 1989, and then made a remarkable return to claim the title once again in 2019 after a gap of approximately thirty years. Abdullah has also represented Malaysia at four Chess Olympiads, including his latest participation at the 2016 event, where he stepped in as a substitute for IM Mas Hafizulhelmi.
