Chess as an Educational Tool

Educational chess (chess is the tool for educational development) is different from Sport chess (educational environment is the tool for chess development) https://edu.fide.com/educational-chess-vs-sport-chess/

Educational chess can be a curriculum subject or a transversal and interdisciplinary tool, with chess integrated in other subjects.

Chess is also suitable for children aged 2-6 to promote social and simple logic skills (eys.fide.com). We favour instruction by qualified education professionals over chess tutors.
