Description

Translated into English by Kelly Lee • Reviewed by Yun Liu 1994年5月26日出生於澳洲布里斯本，四歲隨父母移居台灣，學習中文。六歲初次接觸圍棋，便深深為之著迷。十一歲因父親工作的調動，再隨父母移居美國聖地牙哥，雖然身處圍棋沙漠之地，但仍堅持對圍棋的夢想，每日上課之餘暇仍勤奮不懈研究圍棋，於十四歲在大陸通過定段賽，取得中國棋院的職業初段證書。 由於台灣的職業圍棋環境尚未成熟，嘉嘉在定段之後並未直接投入台灣職棋的行列。在獲知2010廣州亞運將圍棋納入比賽項目，嘉嘉決定爭取為台爭光的機會，在選拔國手之前，先到北京訓練半年，亞運女子國手選拔時第一名入圍。 嘉嘉於2010年7月投入台灣職棋之後，屢屢創造奇蹟，2010年9月獲得世界女子大賽亞軍，同年11月摘下廣州亞運女子團體圍棋銅牌，12月入選體委會年度新秀運動員精英獎。2011年1月，打進棋王賽循環圈，成為史上第一位女子循環圈晉級者。5月，打進國手賽循環圈，8月，國手賽循環圈5勝2負創下台灣女職棋循環圈保級先例。10月，海峰杯四强。11月，棋聖賽四強。2012年1月再度四連勝打進棋王賽循環圈。 Joanne Missingham is an Australian-born 6 dan professional player of the Taiwan Qiyuan.
