Chess is the most popular intellectual sport in the world today, and its largest organization, the World Chess Federation, currently has 190 member countries (regions), second only to the International Football Federation.

The reason why chess has such a great charm is that it is not only competitive, but also artistic and scientific. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of people all over the world for thousands of years, and it is the cultural heritage of all mankind. We can learn many useful ideas and profound connotations through its rules and games. Leo Tolstoy put it more intriguingly when he said, "Playing chess in youth exercises the mind, strengthens the memory, and develops a strong will; Playing chess in middle age is a kind of pleasure and aesthetic enjoyment; In old age, playing chess is the best kind of rest." It can be seen that chess is quite beneficial to all stages of people's growth, and the benefits of young people are particularly obvious, it is internationally recognized as the best chess type to develop young children's intelligence, the famous chess player, the former president of the Chinese Chess Academy Chen Zude will also compare the chess image to "enlighten the wand". Here I share with readers several benefits of chess for the growth of teenagers.

The benefits of chess for young children are first reflected in the intellectual aspect. We know that intelligence factors generally include attention, observation, imagination, memory, thinking, creativity six aspects. The chess game can make attention, observation, memory, imagination, thinking these five basic factors of intelligence in a good unity, in the combination of intelligence factors to produce creative intelligence and intelligence - that is, creativity!

First of all, one of the most common characteristics of young children is lack of attention, too sensitive to the external stimuli to reflect, that is, attention is easily distracted by external things, can not focus on one point, which is very harmful to serious and in-depth learning of all kinds, the obvious performance is that children in the classroom can not seriously and attentively listen to the teacher. Chess requires very high attention, want to win in the game, want to understand the opponent's method, if there is not enough attention is impossible to play chess, it can be seen that playing good chess will help children focus on one point.

Second, each piece in chess has its own action rules and action routes, and each piece is also closely related to each other, and the survival of a piece will be related to other elements or even the trend of the whole game. This is crucial to the requirements of the chess player's observation ability, and the ability to observe is a necessary quality for our future work. Many valuable ideas and creative ideas are inseparable from careful observation.

Thirdly, the benefits of chess for children's memory are self-evident. The huge opening, the middle game, the end game, the well-known attack and defense system and the classic chess game do not say that they are how to go next, what the opponent has just gone, all of which must have a good memory, and chess masters are also memory experts, there are countless changes in the mind.

Fourth, chess is a three-dimensional piece, each piece is carefully shaped, this visual impact greatly enriches our imagination. When we play chess, we always have to think first, first imagining the steps we want to take and the steps of the other side in our mind, and the higher the level of people can anticipate the more steps in advance. This kind of preconceived game is completely done in the mind, which requires the players to have a high degree of imagination.

Fifth, chess emphasizes the ability of logical thinking, which helps to make human thinking organized and systematic, and improve the agility and rigor of thinking.

Finally, on the basis of these five kinds of thinking ability, chess players can constantly improve their chess skills, children continue to improve their intelligence, break through the routine, give play to their creative and innovative potential, so that their creativity to a new height. It is precisely based on the benefits of chess to the intellectual growth of young people that many countries have listed chess as one of the subjects of intelligence cultivation in the primary and secondary school syllabus.

On the other hand, the effect of chess on the growth of children's non-intellectual qualities is also extremely outstanding. Non-intellectual factors include emotions, will, interests, character, needs, motivation, goals, ambitions, beliefs, and worldviews. Chess as a science of thinking, through playing chess can make children learn the rules of life, so as to enhance the due discipline, patience, judgment. Cultivate indomitable courage, perseverance, calm, resourcefulness and other excellent will qualities. Learning chess can make the restless child become quiet, make the impulsive child good at thinking, develop the love of sports, and hone their personality in the process of playing chess... The benefits of chess on the growth of non-intellectual factors are really numerous, and the role of chess on the improvement of children's willpower is particularly obvious: here is a simple example, when a child meets a national elephant master, it is difficult to win, it is time for him to choose to escape, withdraw, or dare to challenge the opponent, and constantly improve themselves until finally beat him. This is exactly the process of a person's willpower growth! This is through a simple and not simple chess experience of the future life may face all kinds of difficulties, in crisis, how do we make a choice? Chess can allow children to learn to adjust their emotions in the experience of success and failure, improve psychological endurance, learn to understand themselves, understand success and failure, and cultivate children's sense of discipline and self-control.
