I am running for Chess Society President because I have played chess since a very young age and have always wanted a position of importance in the sport. My vision is to expand the society by organising regular tournaments, and social events that bring together both competitive and casual players. With my leadership skills and passion for chess, I will work to secure better resources, run teaching sessions and establish partnerships with other university societies and external chess organizations. I want to create a welcoming environment where beginners feel encouraged to learn and experienced players have the opportunity to sharpen their skills. I also believe i have reached a high enough level at candidate master and reaching top 80 in the country to run and be a good president for the chess club.

The Yugoslav Attack Sosonko Variation of the Sicilian Defense Dragon Variation is my favourite opening!
I am putting myself forward for this position as the president of the Chess Society because I am truly passionate about chess and aim to establish a wide network of people dedicated to the sport. I was also the president of the chess club at my old school, organising events and delivering unique presentations to engage students from diverse backgrounds.
I believe in a united chess body with the common objective of exploring the intricacies of chess play in an enjoyable and exhilarating manner.
My ability to converse in several languages, including English, Malay, Mandarin, Spanish, French, Italian, Arabic, Urdu, Portuguese and Somali has also strengthened my communication and interpersonal skills. Thus, this will allow for effective communication with committee members and the wider public.
If successful, I will ensure that the chess society is a place of positivity and creative development inshallah!
