WHAT IS CHESS? |
At its simple level, chess is a game: it's fun and entertaining.
For this reason alone, it has obvious appeal for children and young adults.
However, chess has real advantages over other forms of entertainment. It is inexpensive and available everywhere
Despite its intellectual nature,
chess in extremely social game; it is built upon human interaction and demands honesty and mutual respect.
Like a sport, chess appeals to our competitive instincts.
Unlike other scholastic sports, however, chess demands no physical prowess beyond mental stamina,
and is therefore equally accessible to all types of children.
It is also one of the few "sports" in which young girls are perceived as being equal to young boys.
Chess' highly competitive aspects draw many outstanding athletes to the game.
The art of chess is clear to anyone who plays or even observes it casually.
Chess players have techniques and "game personalities" unique to them.
Finally, chess is a science in that it demands of its participant rigor and logical thinking.
