Krogu have created additional website,
…where children can test their chess skills and take one of our chess courses that is offered on our site. Please fully read the description of each course as we have constructed them very carefully based on the standard of the Nyc public school chess educational program. The core of our online chess instructors are chess teacher with 20 years of Nyc public school chess program teaching experience. Or just
A child learns how to use the time to analyze given chess problems and within that learns how to apply these “mechanism of analyses” to real life.
The real-life today consists heavily of the virtual world as well as most children spend in it(texting, smartphone activities) a significant amount of day. Therefore chess can reinforce children to analyze well the time spent during the day and reduce the amount of time on the phone, rather children learn to focus on long term goals and analyze how to move step by step to reach them. Building patience in children helps them choose the right option instead of “rushing” into the first choice that often happens.
Constant usage of smartphone escalates impatience , as many studies have shown, so chess , as an activity , plays as an excellent “buffer” in a modern child’s world.
The analytical strength that often a child gets learning chess helps him overcome negative reinforcement that comes from the very strong stimuli (smartphone).
