Chess Society: Vice President

Hi! I’m Kush Mittal (BSc Information Management for Business), and I’m excited to announce my candidacy for Vice President of the UCL Chess Society ♟️

Being part of the chess community at UCL has shown me how important a well-coordinated and supportive committee is in creating a great experience for members. As Vice President, I hope to work closely with the committee to ensure events run smoothly and members have the best possible experience within the society.

My Vision:

• Efficient Society Operations
  I want to support the committee in organising events, tournaments, and weekly sessions effectively so members can consistently enjoy high-quality chess activities.
• More Events for All Skill Levels
  From casual blitz nights to competitive tournaments, I aim to ensure that both beginners and experienced players feel equally welcomed and engaged.
• Stronger Internal Collaboration
  By strengthening communication and collaboration within the committee, we can organise better initiatives and provide more value to society members.

Your moves, your strategy, your UCL Chess — vote Kush to lead the board. ♟️

I have had a great time this year at Chess Society, and I’m sure you did too. But I think we can make it even better next year, and if voted as VP, I promise you the following:

1. UPGRADING SOCIALS: Monthly inter-uni friendly matches (#AssertingOurDominance), special nights for Chess variants (Bughouse, 3-Check, Antichess, you name it!) and joint socials and games nights with UCL societies and London chess clubs 
2. ELOMAXXING OPPORTUNITIES: Training sessions and workshops led by top players within the society, alumni and external professionals.
3. MORE WOMEN: I think this one’s self-explanatory 
   On a more serious note, Chess Society is a super fun community, and I want to make sure everyone feels that warmth from day one, regardless of who they are. More events, more faces, more reasons to show up.
