Offer opportunities to play and learn without making it feel like a mandatory activity. Encourage them to participate in chess events with piers of their own age and skill level, to improve along-side others.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>What are the benefits of children learning chess?<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Chess offers numerous benefits for children, including improved cognitive skills like critical thinking, concentration, memory, and problem-solving. It also teaches valuable life skills such as patience, sportsmanship, and strategic planning.
