Why Chess?
Teamwork
All the pieces must work together to accomplish the goal. Also, each piece has different skills, but they all need to come together to accomplish the goal.
Accountability
As World Champion Lasker noted, “At the chess board, lies and hypocrisy do not last long.” The person responsible for the result of the game is you, not outside forces.
Pattern Recognition
Once learned, chess patterns are often recognizable in similar positions.
Thinking ahead
As players begin to think about their opponents moves and how they will respond, they naturally begin to think about what lies and planning not just for the moment, but will happen in the future.
Evaluation
Players are forced to make complex decisions based on known, but not always easily understood information.
Strategic Thinking and Planning
Players begin to realize that different actions lead to different outcomes – if x then y, if a then b.
Resourcefulness
While guidelines, principles, and the practice of thinking ahead helps to narrow the number of possible options, no one can plan for all variables in the game of chess. The game teaches one to be aware that surprises will occur and to be able to respond to them by applying what they have learned.
Thinking in time
Players began to understand the relationship of cause and effect as well as develop an idea of how past (previous moves), present (current position), and future (how do I win x), all work together.
Transferability
The skills that are learned in chess are widely transferable to non-chess activities.
