Why we do what we do

Chess is more than just a game, it is a powerful tool for personal and academic development. Studies have shown that playing chess can improve cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory. Additionally, chess can improve focus, concentration, and decision-making abilities, which are valuable skills for success in any field.

For students, incorporating chess into their education can have a positive impact on their academic performance. Studies have shown that students who play chess score higher on standardized tests, have better grades, and perform better in mathematics and science. Furthermore, chess promotes teamwork and sportsmanship, helping to build valuable social and emotional skills.

For schools, incorporating chess into their curriculum can have a positive impact on their students' overall development and academic performance, as well as promoting a positive school culture. It is also a great way to engage students in a way different to traditional sports or physical activities.
