Hi, I'm Raj, and I am a first-year Philosophy, Politics, and Economics student at UCL. I am thrilled to announce my candidacy for the presidency of the UCL Chess Society. Chess has been an integral part of my life since I was seven years old, and I am eager to bring my passion for the game to this position.

Over the years, I have played competitively with my siblings and have gained invaluable experiences that make me feel suited to this role. I have played individually, for my school, and for the England National Team, and I am particularly proud of captaining my school in National Championships.

As President, I believe that I can help take the UCL Chess Society to new heights. In the coming year, I hope to achieve the following goals:

  1. Expand our reach as a society online, particularly following the recent chess boom that has seen millions take the game up on Chess.com
  2. Help those who feel less experienced in the game, through bi-weekly lessons from our top-rated players
  3. Provide greater opportunities for players of all levels to practice, through ECF rated tournaments that have prizes available
  4. Organise more inter-uni competitions, particularly against our London Rivals!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you consider voting for me to represent you next year!
