Chess has the rare quality that children love it despite the fact
that it is good for them. Playing chess is just like life: you have
to make plans, take decisions, be creative, deal with challenges,
handle disappointments, interact with others and evaluate your
actions. In this guide, psychologist and chess teacher Karel van
Delft provides access to the underlying scientific research and
presents the best didactical methods. Van Delft has created a
dependable toolkit for teachers and scholastic chess organizers.
What can teachers do to improve their instruction? How
(un)important is talent? How do you support a special needs group?
How do you deal with parents? What are the best selling points of a
chess program? Boys and girls, does it make a difference? How do
chess in schools programs fare in different countries? This is not
a book on chess rules and moves, but it points the way to where
good technical chess improvement content can be found. Van Delft
offers a wealth of practical advice on the most effective didactics
in order for kids to build critical life skills through learning
chess.
