University days: The Inter Semesters

The most exciting three days of the entire semester, quoted as the inter semesters. This used to be a team event in NIT, Srinagar that was conducted biannually. The format was as follows- 4 board matches and the team securing a minimum of 2.5 won. Despite its liking as a team tournament, it had a one on one playing as its core theme.

Before entering the tournament hall, I had always been clear in my mind that we won’t be finishing at the very top as my team wasn’t the best fit. Still, never had I ever made my team realise this viewpoint. My team had always shown the winning attitude. The boys went inside the hall to win, I went inside the hall to win.?

Now did we win??

Yes, we reached the finals 3/8 times although we were the runners up in those 3 finals.?

Still did we win??

Yes! Because “win” for me is not about bagging up medals and laminating certificates. I had won my team back then. The team that still plays chess. The team that will always play chess. Given a chance of a rematch for the inter semester title, I will always go ahead with this team of mine with the same winning attitude, NO MATTER WHAT!

Stay tuned for the next----next week.
