MAMALLAPURAM: Randa Seder, an eight-year girl from Palestine can’t be missed in the sea of participants at the ongoing Chess Olympiad. With photo requests from players and spectators the moment she arrived for her game on Saturday, Randa already feels like a celebrity. “Yes, I like it,” said Randa, the youngest player in the competition.
At an age where most of her schoolmates are either binging on cartoons or cramming up their school syllabus, Randa relishes making moves on the board. “I enjoy both studies and chess,” Randa said.
