WHY CHESS?

 

Chess, one of the oldest and most challenging of games, is showing remarkable results as one of the latest pedagogical tools for young students. Through the medium of chess, children learn disciplined thinking skills which are applicable to other intellectual endeavors.

 

The BKCC endorses the statement of Dr. Robert Ferguson that the discipline of chess provides the necessary 4th “R” in education – reasoning.
