Chess is a powerful tool for developing thinking and memory in children. It educates them to be responsible for their decisions and the consequences of those decisions

Focusing

Children are taught the ben efits of observing carefully and concentrating. If they don’t watch what is happening, they can’t respond to it, no matter how smart they are.

Visualizing

Children are prompted to imagine a sequence of actions before it happens. Strengthen the ability to visualize by training them to shift the pieces in their mind, first one, then several moves ahead.

Thinking Ahead

Children are taught to think first, then act. They learn to ask themselves “If I do this, what might happen then, and how can I respond?” Over time, chess helps develop patience and thoughtfulness.
