Chess Tournament

On this tournament , educators and parents have discovered that chess is a wonderful way to teach young children mathematical concepts and important thinking skills that they can use their entire life. Chess also has connections to standards in the fields of language arts (reading, writing, oral presentation), social studies (geography – longitude and latitude, mapping), and science (graphing and critical thinking skills).

Many studies show that chess helps children with cognitive development and increases math and verbal test scores. Educators have also noted that chess helps to raise self-esteem.”

Patience is one of the most important things chess teaches children. Once they learn to slow down and take their time, they discover a whole new world. They then see the complexities of different chess positions that need to be worked out; that is when time-management skills are introduced.
