Why Chess?
There have been numerous international studies of the benefits of chess. These include, but are not limited to::
- You are 50% less likely to develop dementia.
- Utilizes both sides of brain.
- Helps your brain to grow.
- Chess players usually have better grades.
It can be played by almost everyone to include:
- Any economic social group.
- Disabilities.
- From a child to the elderly.
- Any gender.
Think about it. Universally people assume you are smart if you play chess or they even think that you can.
Can't learn? There are more rules to Monopoly than Chess. I bet you can play Monopoly. Have you ever been told you are smart because of it? Bet not.
