Chess exercises your mind in a way, nothing else does. Constant calculation and deep concentration are the main ingredients in successful chess. Very quickly anyone who starts to play chess will notice an increase in mental fitness. Mental fitness means different things for different people. Some people can throw out their calendar, now they effortlessly plan their schedule in their heads! Almost everyone experiences a increase in memory, never lose your keys again! Personally I started to think about what I said before I said it, being able to predict people's responses. In short? Chess makes you smarter!
Here are a few practical benefits of chess:Chess@3's Curriculum is a collection of fun stories that teaches chess to 3-10 year olds. Before now, chess education traditionally began at 8 or as early as 7, Chess@3 gets 3 year olds, playing and loving chess.
These simple stories teach kids how to play chess without them knowing they're learning. The Rules of chess are usually too abstract for 3 year olds to grasp, there are too many of them, and some of the rules are too complicated. These stories give reasons why these rules in chess exist, Kings don't move one square at a time, they move slow. One king moves slow because his belly is so big, and one moves slow because he's afraid of everything. Kids just follow these memorable stories, and without knowing it, start to play chess.
Our teaching is done in three stages. Teaching Kids to:Learning chess this early gives increased mental dexterity to anyone who plays it. When you go to the gym you exercise muscles that wouldn't have been stimulated without the gym. Playing chess takes your mind to the gym, when you play chess, you work the muscles of your mind that you almost never do. Learning to control and build these powers has incredible use, particularly in music and math. Chess, music and math are all very similar, they're closed universes of possibility, numbers, notes, and moves. All three require you to mentally manipulate different variables, to produce different results, equations, songs, and games. Getting good at one gets you good at the other two. The mental dexterity gained by playing chess with Chess@3 will give anyone a 'head start' in music, math, and general concentration.
