You know how they say: it's never too late to try something new! 

That's the case for Pauline Woodward from Guernsey, who holds the record of being the oldest (or the least young!) player at the 2024 Chess Olympiad. It's the first participation for her, as well as for the Woman Guernsey Team, as she said in a beautiful interview with chess24 (btw the best broadcast of the event imho) that you can find here: https://x.com/chess24com/status/1834235488107983151?t=ehEDtI0qH8rsPFYOOb3adw&s=08

And the best part of the story is... her today's game! It really was a rollercoaster... Just take a look:

See you in the next article about Chess Olympiad.

Bye, take care and remember... to play chess!
