Q: Why Chess for kids is so important?
A:
· Raise intelligence quotient (IQ) scores
· Strengthen problem solving skills, teaching how to make difficult and abstract decisions independently
· Enhance reading, memory, language, and mathematical abilities
· Foster critical, creative, and original thinking
· Provide practice at making accurate and fast decisions under time pressure, a skill that can help improve exam scores at school
· Teach how to think logically and efficiently, learning to select the ‘best’ choice from a large number of options
· Challenge gifted children while potentially helping underachieving gifted students learn how to study and strive for excellence
· Demonstrate the importance of flexible planning, concentration, and the consequences of decisions
· Reach boys and girls regardless of their natural abilities or socio-economic backgrounds
