Say Chess!

Last month, three young ANZA members did us proud back in Oz. Not only did Lauren, Leah, and Lara Rice take part in the Australian Chess Open, but 12-year-old Leah was crowned the women’s champion after she placed 12th in the overall tournament. Held in Scarborough, Perth, the tournament saw the region’s best players square off in an 11-round Swiss format. Leah attributes her success to her big sister Lauren who picked up chess at Nanyang Primary School and is now in the Singapore national women’s squad. Away from chess, the Rice sisters also play for ANZA Netball - what a talented trio!
