Chess is the ultimate game of intellect and strategy. Played on a 64-square board, each player commands 16 pieces, each moving in its own unique way. The objective is simple yet deeply challenging: to checkmate the opponent’s king so that it has no escape. There is no running, no shouting—just pure concentration, planning, and mental battle.

For those who study medicine, chess is especially valuable. It helps develop patience, strategic thinking, problem-solving ability, and a sharp memory—all essential qualities for future doctors. It is also one of the most popular events during our annual Sports Week, enjoyed equally by both players and spectators who appreciate the tension and brilliance of each move.
