BEYOND THE PRACTICE

The Chess Master

Cinemas, Cuisines and Cityscapes
From seven years of tennis to countless hours of table tennis and badminton, she believes as much in physical stimulation as in the mental rigour of chess. These sports bring out her competitive spirit while keeping things light and fun, shaping the way she approaches challenges with energy, resilience and a “play to win, enjoy the game” mindset. She has also represented her school in district-level tennis tournaments.
Cinemas, Cuisines and Cityscapes
She unwinds with edge-of-the-seat thriller movies, and loves trying new food. Whether she is discovering a new café around the corner or exploring a city halfway across the world, she enjoys travel that lets her taste local flavours and collect stories along the way.
