“No matter the obstacles that we face, no matter how much you try to blacklist us, no matter what you do to try to ruin our career or slander our reputation—these difficult times have only invigorated us even more to reach the top of chess. There will be a day when the UNSW Chess Club will be the best chess club in the world.” - Hans Niemann (quote altered slightly)
