Welcome to Chess for Kids Site
A study by Dr. Peter Dauvergne at the University of Sydney, has found that students who play chess have raised their intelligence quotient (IQ) scores in the following areas:
* Strengthened problem solving skills
* Learned how to make difficult and abstract decisions independently
* Enhance reading, memory, language, and mathematical abilities; fostered critical, creative, and original thinking
* Provided practice at making accurate and fast decisions under time pressure, (a skill that can help improve exam scores at school)
* Taught them how to think logically and efficiently, learning to select the "best" choice from a large number of options
* Challenged gifted children while potentially helping underachieving gifted students learn how to study and strive for excellence
* Demonstrated the importance of flexible planning, concentration, and the consequences of decisions
* Reached boys and girls regardless of their natural abilities or socio-economic backgrounds.
