Global Importance of Chess
The Checkmates as a service group have a link
to the CAS Learning Outcome of global importance through its universal
educational value. The game of chess which we play and teach to children from
local schools is very important and is played on an international level because
of these reasons:
- Can be played by people of all ages and backgrounds
- Works as a mental exercise that helps to improve critical thinking and learning abilities
- Teaches strategy and discipline
- In some cases it helps improve a child’s self confidence
- Increases a person’s memory skills
- Helps improve concentration and academic performance
- Has been successfully used in therapy as recreational therapy
- It’s a fun board game
On a more local level, chess is important
in Sri Lanka because of its potential to gain an accomplished player a good
school scholarship or recommendation. That is the service groups ultimate goal,
to get an exceptional player a chess scholarship to a good school.
