The Chess Academy to introduce chess into more K-8 classrooms to give students the opportunity to gain from the critical thinking skills and strategies
Playing chess can develop their wisdom and train their faculties of imagination, memory, feeling and understanding. It also exercises their creative abilities and their capacity for analysis and logical thought. It cultivates persistence, tenacity, quick-wittedness, self-control, courage and other competitive qualities, and the ability to control complex situations. The strategy and tactics of chess, its methods of planning and its philosophy, always play a positive role in developing the intelligence of young people…Reports from other countries confirm this. In Venezuela, for example, an education report shows that of all games, chess is best suited to develop the students’ intelligence…Chess is not limited by age, sex, or the possession of elaborate equipment.” (Wenzhe, 2002, Chinese School of Chess)
