Chess Practice

A few weeks ago, students were asked to learn how to play a game of chess as part of their homework.

Research suggests that Chess develops intellectual, sporting, decision making, concentration, and perseverance skills. Not only is it mentally challenging, but it attracts not only gifted pupils but students at all levels of learning. Many students who have been experiencing problems, particularly in mathematics and reading, sometimes demonstrate remarkable progress after learning and playing chess.

Over the past week, they have had the opportunity to put their knowledge to practice in preparation for our Room10 Chess Tournament.
