PHOTO: A chess tournament for inmates was held at Maribor Prison

A chess tournament was held at the Maribor prison, organized under the guidance of chess master Suad Osmanbegović. The event was initiated by the inmates themselves and followed the Swiss system, where each participant played five games. According to the facility, the tournament took place in a sports spirit, with participants showing focus and mutual respect. Chess is increasingly used in prison systems as a tool for personal development, promoting self-discipline, strategic thinking, and respect for rules. Research indicates that chess can positively influence social skills and interpersonal relationships, contributing to successful reintegration into society and reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses. Due to the positive feedback from participants, chess will remain part of leisure and educational programs at the Maribor prison in the future.
