51³Ô¹ÏCHESS CLUB
The 51³Ô¹ÏChess Club was created to get people to play chess at the University. The Club encourages people of all levels of experience to play and offers a friendly, constructive, and social platform for chess enthusiasts. The Club sends also teams to the Universiada. To find out more about the 51³Ô¹Ïchess club, we sat down and talked with Shaislam Shabiev, a freshman in the economics department and the head of the chess club:
ÌýI was 7 years old when I first played chess. From that moment forward, this game was more than just an ordinary game for me—it was a space for self-expression. I can be an artist in chess, thinking up tactics and creating strategic plans, which I find incredibly rewarding. So far, I have devoted most of my time to playing chess. It is certainly more than just a hobby.
