Did You Know?

Chess stim­u­lates the pre­frontal cor­tex and spurs growth in neur­al path­ways, help­ing young play­ers devel­op plan­ning, rea­son­ing, and per­cep­tion skills ear­li­er than kids who don’t play chess.

When play­ing chess, your brain will be chal­lenged to exer­cise log­ic, devel­op pat­tern recog­ni­tion, make deci­sions both visu­al­ly and ana­lyt­i­cal­ly, and test your memory.

Chess can be enjoyed at any age – as a result, these brain exer­cis­es can be part of your life­long health regimen!
