In addition to her strong tournament performance, Noa had the opportunity to meet and speak with Jennifer Shahade, a FIDE Woman Grandmaster (WGM). The Woman Grandmaster title is the highest women-only title awarded by the Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE), the International Chess Federation, and is one of the sport's most prestigious distinctions.

Noa's passion for chess extends beyond competition. Her Laurel Capstone project explores ways to encourage more girls and women to participate in the game, reflecting her commitment to making chess more inclusive for future generations.

Congratulations, Noa, on this outstanding achievement!
