These players, aged between eight to 12, are excited to test their skills on a global level at the World Cadets Chess Championship.
PETALING JAYA: Aishwarryaa Soojasan may just be nine years old, but she is already showing signs of becoming a queen of the chessboard.
Aishwarryaa, who first picked up the game at six, is slightly nervous but optimistic about the championships. Representing Malaysia this year will be Al Baaqiyatus Solehah , Keertieshvar Saravanan , Nurelhelwa Hilma , Nurelhamra Hanan , Rumi Arjuna Malique , Lisha Foong , Livia Foong , Nik Aimee Camilla binti Nik Ahmad Farouqi and Aishwarryaa Soojasan .
This year, therefore, sees the largest Malaysian contingent ever sent for the World Cadets Chess Championship, with the country’s homegrown players involved in five of the tournament’s six categories.“Our players this year may seem young, but I think they are very well-prepared. They have participated in many tournament categories from week to week, and I hope they will put up a challenge on an international level,” said Nik Ahmad, who will be leading the contingent to Egypt.
Malaysia Chess Federation head of delegates Nik Ahmad Farouqi believes this championship will be beneficial for the country’s young players. The 12-day tournament will see one chess game being played every day, with a one day break halfway through.
