Freshmen of the specialty 053 «Psychology» – participants and winners of sports events!

Freshmen of the specialty «Psychology» surprise us not only with their high motivation for study and further professional activity, but also with their hobbies and successes! They manage not only to study successfully, but also to participate in sports events and competitions.

So, from September 17 to 19, 2023, the Dumka chess club (Zaporizhzhia) hosted a championship among young men under 20, in which 8 chess players participated. According to the results of the competition, Danylo Malyar – a student of the group SN-123 became the winner and took 1st place in the chess championship!

«I knew that there were difficult games ahead, but I was sure that victory would be mine. It’s not for nothing that I am a candidate for master of sports in chess. Of course, there was a slight excitement, but as soon as I delved into the game, it passed. I believe that the main thing for winning in chess is to be confident in your abilities, be able to analyze the opponent’s moves and, of course, a pinch of luck. You can’t do without it.»

The winners were awarded with diplomas and medals from the Department of Sports, Family and Youth of the Zaporizhzhia City Council, as well as cash prizes from the People’s Deputy of Ukraine Serhiy Shtepa.
