Chess In Schools
A good friend of mine and chess grandmaster Susan Polgar gives her "jewels" on Why Chess?
Polgar writes...and these are just a few reasons,
-Chess dramatically improves a child's ability to think rationally.
· Chess increases cognitive skills.
· Chess improves children's communication skills and aptitude in recognizing patterns.
· Chess results in higher grades especially in English and Math studies.
· Chess builds a sense of team spirit while emphasizing the ability of the individual.
· Chess teaches the value of hard work, concentration and commitment.
· Chess instills in young players a sense of self-confidence and self-worth.
By the way Susan Polgar was recently listed as one of the 50 smartest people in Parade Magazine.
