International chess master coming to campus
Check your calendar. A student organization is working day and knight to prepare an event fit for a king. “Challenge a Champion,” hosted by the Chess Club at Ohio State, is bringing International Master Levy Rozman to the Ohio Union Sunday. Rozman will face off against 15 lucky attendees simultaneously in a competition called a “simul.” Rozman will also give a lecture, Kalen Sutandar, a third-year in mechanical engineering and the club’s treasurer, said. Rozman, now 25 years old, started playing chess in 2000 and learned to play the game professionally while growing up back and forth between New Jersey and New York, he said. “I was a very hyper-active kid, and my parents didn’t know what to do with me,” Rozman said. “They decided to enroll me in chess, and I just fell in love with it.”
