the focus on keeping the game fun for children while teaching them essential
life lessons such as sportsmanship, problem-solving, critical
thinking, patience and attention span.

has been shown to increase test scores in reading and math.
"Chess develops
analytical and decision-making skills that can be applied to real life,"
offered Mr. Morrison. "The game also encourages children to learn to
focus, plan, and persevere through challenges, while building self-confidence.
"Kid Chess Online
offers children the opportunity to gain all that learning from the comfort of
their own home in a safe and friendly environment."
