Even French sculptor and chess player Marcel Duchamp described chess as "the movement of pieces eating one another." Mongeli, 24, has what it takes to be a modern chess master and with just a three year-year experience on the board, she continues to amuse the world of chess. I was not into board games and could not picture myself playing chess or scrabble,” she said.
