A Journey Shaped by Chess
Qiyu “Nemo” Zhou has lived many lives through chess. Born in China, raised across France, Finland and Canada, she discovered the game at three years old and never let go. What began as childhood curiosity quickly became a passion that shaped her world – from winning youth championships to breaking barriers and becoming Canada’s first Woman Grandmaster.
Today, Nemo is more than a competitor. She is a storyteller of the chess world – a creator, streamer and community-builder who brings both sharp strategy and warmth to the game. She represents a new generation of chess: global, expressive, unapologetically individual.

Exclusive Chinese Dragon Print Playing Board
The board is detailed with a flowing Chinese dragon motif – a quiet emblem of power, wisdom and protection. In Chinese tradition, the dragon is not a beast of chaos, but a symbol of good fortune and elevated spirit – a presence that surrounds, guides and strengthens.
Here, it does not dominate the surface, but moves beneath it: a whisper of movement woven into the geometry of the squares. Its form suggests stillness held in perfect tension – potential waiting with elegance for the moment of release.
The motif reflects the collaboration itself – a merging of heritage, precision and self-belief that has defined Nemo’s path, both on and beyond the board.
