Help Us Promote Chess

Chess is a great way to help children develop a process for strategic planning, thinking under time pressure, and learning while having fun! Many studies have shown that chess helps school children learn cognitive and non-cognitive skills. They learn cognitive skills such as counting, problem solving, and planning ahead. They also gain non-cognitive skills like learning to wait your turn patiently and how to win or lose gracefully!
