Condolences - Mos Ali (ACTJCL Coach)

Mosaddeque (Mos) Ali, well known to Canberra junior chess players and their parents, died suddenly on Tuesday 6 December at the age of 40. Mos coached many Canberra juniors over his 20 years as one of the most active chess players in Australia, at schools, the ACTJCL Development Squad and at the Australian Junior Chess Championships. Mos organised a team from Narrabundah College that finished in second place at the ANU Secondary Schools Chess Championship this year. He was often seen wearing the blue and yellow ACTJCL polo shirt at tournaments in Canberra and will be remembered for his ability to bring out the best in his students, camaraderie with fellow players, and commitment to junior chess in Australia. An obituary for Mos can be found here.
