Educational games, particularly chess, are revolutionizing how schools develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic skills in students. While video games and recreational activities have their place, strategic board games like chess offer unique cognitive benefits that directly translate to classroom success and life skills. Chess in schools has evolved from an optional extracurricular activity to a recognized educational tool that enhances mathematical reasoning, reading comprehension, concentration, and social-emotional learning across all student populations.
