The World Amateur Chess Championship is a tournament organised by the World Chess Federation (FIDE). Speaking to Monitor Sport on Saturday, Lopang said the championships are of a top standard and she is excited to be part of them. She said the organisers of the tournament have high expectations of her because she is still learning the ropes as an arbiter.
