Why Shoreview Chess, Benefits?
Studies have shown children benefit tremendously from Chess. A study complied by Kasparov Chess Foundation of Europe shares some interesting insights. I would like to highlight Leopold Lacrimosa contribution of the Chess and the “five R’s” for Kids.
- Chess and Reading: because kids must study from many chess books in order to develop their game.
- Chess and Writing: because the rules of chess state that you must keep a score of your game.
- Chess and Math: because each piece on the chess board has value, some greater than others; if you loose stronger pieces for lesser ones, it may cost you the game.
- Chess and Responsibility: because you and you alone must direct your army of pieces to its best deployment, and bad decisions will allow your men to be captured with little or no compensation, which may also cost you the game.
- Chess and Respect: because you respect yourself as well as your opponent, each game begins with a handshake and ends with a handshake.
