 | | Richard Taylor: I played Sue Maroroa a few times and I won all the games, but that was a few years ago. She was always very aggressive, unlike many women players. I had some interesting games, but only one or two are worth loading onto CG.com I think. |

| | Richard Taylor: Sue's father it Timu. He plays chess or used to all the time and doesn't seem to care much about the result. She is Rarotongan or part Rarotongan. She was once asking about what openings to play and someone suggested the Grunfeld Defence but her comment was "Defence? I don't want to play a defence." So maybe the right attitude! |
|
| Jul-31-18 | | PhilFeeley: We should see her games from this year's British Championships here soon. |
|
| May-11-23 | | Himank02: Sue Maroroa passed away today. Such awful news... may her soul rest in peace. |
|
| May-11-23 | | Retireborn: Only 32? What the Hell happened?! |
|
| May-11-23 | | stone free or die: <Retireborn> tragic, I believe she died very shortly after childbirth. She leaves behind the newborn son, two (?) other childern, and her husband Gawain Jones. https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comm... She considered herself Cookasian.

| May-11-23 | | Retireborn: <stone free> Thanks for that. Phoenix was their dog, it seems. Puts old timers like me worrying about getting past 64 in perspective. |
|
| May-11-23 | | stone free or die: Life is all too short, and sometimes so unfair. |

|
| May-14-23 | | kereru: Way too soon, she was such a fun likeable girl when I knew her. |
|
May-15-23
 | | Jonathan Sarfati: Tragic early death, leaving behind husband, very young daughter, and newborn son. chess.com has an informative obituary.
Her self-description as Cookasian is apt, because she had a Cook Islander father and Chinese-Malaysian mother who gave her the middle name Yuchan. |

 | | MissScarlett: That obituary gives the date of death as May 10th, not the 11th we have at present. |
|
| May-17-23 | | mckmac: This is terribly sad news. I have just played through one of her games - she was such an exciting player. RIP Sue Maroroa Jones. |
|

| | FSR: Weird fact: the last comment by User: p0ubelle (back in 2006) was to Arianne Caoili. Here it is: Arianne Caoili. That was shortly after the (in)famous Gormally-Aronian bout. |

 | | perfidious: That is bizarre indeed.
A contemporaneous kibitz from <keypusher> over there: <Since my last visit kibizing on this page has hit rock bottom, and started to dig. :)> |

| | Richard Taylor: I heard Sue had died there was almost a page re that in the NZ Herald. I got a shock. I played her a couple of times and met Gawain briefly I think 2010 in the Trundle Masters Tournament. I think soon after he was married to Sue. It is a tragedy, not too long ago Timu her father died. I played him a lot of kibitzing games. I watched the service and funeral. Sue was the probably first Pasifika woman to be titled. She still had potential. She was prepared to take risks so was hard to play. She was a great person. It is sad thing to see a young women die. Sue was very different as a chess player and it seems she was well liked. I send my condolences to Gawain and family and to Sue's family in Rarotonga and South East Asia etc RIP Sue Maroroa |
