The “MIPA Bergerak Sehat” event continues with a chess tournament. Representatives from various departments and the FMIPA deanery competed in chess in front of the Biology Department building. The players were divided into two groups, and the tournament was played in two rounds. The Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., joined in the fun by participating in the chess match. “As I mentioned during the opening, now it’s time to compete in the chess tournament,” he said. As a warm-up, the Dean played a practice match with Prof. Dr. Kahar Muzakhar, S.Si. Although they were in the same group, they didn’t face each other directly. “Let’s practice first. Even though we’re in the same group, we haven’t met yet. I’ll wait for you in the final, Prof. Kahar,” said Prof. Dafik.
At the start of the tournament, four chess pieces and a timer were provided for each group. The organizers set rules that all participants had to follow. “We’ve set the rules, and we’re playing in the spirit of good health and sportsmanship, following the ‘MIPA Bergerak Sehat’ motto,” said Budiyono, one of the organizers. In the final round, Sapik from the Dean’s office faced Muhayat Zamroni. After a fierce match, Muhayat Zamroni emerged as the winner. The Dean hopes this event will continue, as it helps sharpen the mind and serves as a refreshing break from work. Continue reading
