“I started playing chess at the age of 5 at school, and to travel alone at 10. Chess taught me to be independent very early and also has contributed into making my personality very calm, patient and mentally strong. Somehow, being a passionate player has shown me the road towards a successful chess career and a successful life.”

“I have been playing chess since I was 5 years old. Being born and brought up in Madagascar, I learnt chess by myself, watching my dad and my brother play. I was curious in knowing more about it so I joined a club in Madagascar and since then I am in love with this sport. It helps me to stay concentrated in every task that I do.”
