What are the seven greatest benefits of chess

Focus
Children learn how to observe carefully and cultivate patience.

Visualizing
Chess prompts you to imagine a sequence of actions before it happens.

Thinking Ahead
Our students are taught to think first, and then act. Over time, chess helps develop patience and thoughtfulness.

Weighing Options
Children are taught that they don’t have to do the first thing that pops into their mind. They learn to identify alternatives and consider the pros and cons of various actions.

Analysis and Decision-Making
Decisions are better when guided by logic, rather than impulse, and students learn to evaluate the results of specific actions and sequences.

Abstract Thinking
This discipline teaches you how to step back periodically from details and consider the bigger picture. You also learn to take patterns used in one context and apply them to different, but related situations.

Planning
Our instructors will teach your child how to develop goals. Kids are also taught of the need to reevaluate their plans as new developments change the situation.
