Pre-Primary School & Kindergarten Chess

Girls' Chess

Why should your child learn to play chess?
Chess improves the mind while your child is having fun. Learning chess is a gift you can give your child at a very young age, that they can enjoy for the rest of their life. At the 40th World Chess Congress in 1969, Dr. Hans Klaus, Dean of the School of Philosophy at Humboldt University in Berlin, completed chess studies in Germany and said:
"Chess helps any human being to elaborate exact methods of thinking. It would be particularly useful to start playing chess from the early school days ... Everybody prefers to learn something while playing rather than to learn it formally…it produces in our children an improvement in their school achievements. Those children who received systematic instructions in chess improved their school efficiency in different subjects, in contrast with those who did not receive that kind of instruction.''
Chess is a family game not just for two
