Chess in schools

Chess should be taught in schools. It helps you concentrate, problem solve, and do logical thinking.  It should be added as part of the curriculum. It would help all the students all the way through life.

That is one of the best ideas ever! I wish my school would do that.

Chess is one of the cheaper and potentially more effective extra-curricular programs in schools.

I too agree!That's agreat idea!

      In my mother tongue,Marathi,Chess is called as a Buddhibal,Buddhi = Intellect + Bal=power, meaning a thing that empowers your intellectual capacities! So,it is definitely useful for the growing agegroup!

     Also,if it is made a cumpulsory subject in a schools,it will naturally lead to increased participation from girls,than that of today!
