Chess is fun, instructive, and unleashes creativity. It is considered exercise for the brain and develops mental focus and helps to organize thoughts in the mind.
In the schools, chess often serves as a bridge, bringing together children of different ages, races and genders in an activity they can all enjoy. It also has been proven to contribute to academic performance.
Some of the benefits of chess are critical thinking, memory, visualization, patience, math skills, listening, concentration, making choices, problem solving, and determination. It also helps develop tactics, self-esteem, poise, humility, sportsmanship, and confidence. Visit our Testimonials page for feedback on our program.
