Assalamualaikum & salam sejahtera.

Teaching chess is one of my duty. As a school chess trainer I want to share with you why you must teach your kids chess? So this is the 8 reasons why you must teach your kids chess.

1. Focus – Children are taught the benefits of observing carefully and concentrating If they don’t watch what is happening they can’t respond to it no matter how smart they are.

2. Visualize - Children are prompted to image a sequence of actions before it happens. Chess actually strengthen the ability to visualize by training them to shift the pieces in their mind, first one. then several moves ahead.

3. Think ahead – Children are caught to think first, then act. Chess teach them to ask themselves “If I do this then what might happen next, and how can I respond?” Over time, chess develops patience and thoughtfulness.

4. Weigh options – Children are taught that they don’t have to do the first thing that pops into their mine. They learn to identify alternatives and consider the pros and cons of various actions

5. Analyze concretely - Children learn to evaluate the results of specific actions and consequences Does this sequence help or hurt me? Decisions are better ,when guided by logic, rather than impulse

6. Think abstractly - Children are taught to step back periodically from details and consider the bigger picture. They also learn to take patterns used in one context and apply then to different but related

7 .Plan – Children are taught to develop longer range goals and to take steps bringing them about. They are also taught to re-evaluate their plans as new development change the situation

8. Juggle multiple considerations simultaneously - Children are taught not to become overly absorbed in any one consideration, but to try and weigh various factors at once

The skills are not unique to chess, but are all part of the game The beauty of chess as a teaching tool is that it simulates children’s minds and helps them to build these skills while enjoying themselves. It can provide an intellectually stimulating, rewarding activity, but it can also teach discipline, planning and all the other values that go into successful chess As a result, children become more critical thinkers, better problem solvers, and more independent decision makers”.

That the way chess make kids smarter.

Thank you,
