The Value of Chess

Introduction. Recent studies have confirmed what educators have known for nearly 40 years: that chess improves academic performance, concentration, logical thinking, judgment, creativity, problem solving, emotional intelligence, and social skills. Much of the research can be found online, and we’ve tried to collect some of the best of it here.  We also include, at the end of this section, some links to video clips that show, better than words on paper, what chess can do for kids.
