Chess
Chess is the most interesting game invented by humankind. When children get to know the inhabitants of Chess Kingdom, they will become their friends for life.
The children’s life becomes imbued with concepts like space, time, tactics, and strategy. They learn to think logically, to calculate moves, and to choose one of many possibilities – that is, to make decisions and take responsibility for their consequences.
They learn to take on challenges without becoming dispirited by failure, and can experience the wonderful feeling of victory over opponent.
Chess teaches nobility and honesty, and does not tolerate falseness and deception.
