Chess turns problem-solving and learning into a game! Studies conducted over the last 30 years show that student IQs increase and test scores improve after less than a year of systematic chess study. Chess is fun and motivational. It develops self-esteem, builds team spirit and increases concentration. Chess is a thinking game. It encourages students to use patterns and logical deductive reasoning to solve problems. Chess players come in all ages. Even very young children can be successful at chess, as demonstrated by the annual national kindergarten championship. See www.championshipchess.net for more information.
