WIM Audrey Wong
Back in June 1985, Wong was in uncharted waters when she set out for Adelaide, Australia. As the national women’s champion then, she represented the country at the Asian under-20 girls’ chess championship. It was a 13-round event with chess players from around Asia taking part.
Wong astounded the field with a flying start that saw her score a perfect 10. Ten points from the first 10 games. She was on course to win the championship. However, she then faltered and, eventually, finished the tournament with 11.5 points.

Anybody still remember our very first Woman International Master? I have certainly heard of her back in the days when I was still collecting newspaper cuttings of chess articles. I even got her autograph in 1985 during a simultaneous exhibition in Shah Alam.
Here’s a game between WIN Audrey Wong and WFM Seto Wai Ling. Yes we did have a WFM back in the days too. Seto is now living in Australia.
Wong, Audrey - Seto Wai Ling,
