The Benefits Of Chess
Become a Champion
Several academic and industry studies demonstrate the overwhelming educational
value of chess. Chess helps develop essential academic and life-long skills. One study
by Dr. Peter Dauvergne at the University of Sydney, has found that students who play
chess have significantly raised their IQ scores in the following areas:
- Strengthen problem solving skills
- Learn how to make difficult and abstract decisions independently
- Enhance reading, memory, language, and mathematical abilities; fostered
- 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 logical and efficient thinking, 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 both boys and girls regardless of their natural abilities or socio-economic background
