Why Play Chess


"Chess is a game of imagination and strategy, one that provides rules, order and opportunities for intellectual growth.
Chess teaches a skill that can be applied to other aspects of life. For example, it teaches one to plan carefully in advance, to visualize various situations before making a move, and the importance of patience. How many of us have acted without thinking and then wished we could take back our actions? Well, the game of chess will quickly teach a child to analyze before acting. There have even been studies which support the claim that chess improves a person's organizational and analytical skills."
- Gadfly (The advantages of learning the art of chess)
