A game that helps you reason
Chess facilitates the development of cognitive abilities such as memory, concentration, the ability to predict and the ability of finding solutions.
It’s a game of complex rules that the child learns to follow, since they are crucial for the development of the game.
Chess also helps children to reject attitudes such as abuse and foul play, which helps individuals to play fairly. Since chess is a competitive game, it helps the child to respect his/her opponent, to assess the situation from the opposite point of view and to accept defeat.
