The benefits that children derive from chess can hardly be 
overestimated. Children who start learning chess show 
great improvement in mathematics, physics and in capability
 
to do independent research. Studies have shown that regular chess 
training develops
a child’s power of concentration and the facility for 
logical thinking.
  The competitive aspect also builds willpower.
