Chess is more than a game—it is a tool for building focus, logical thinking, and resilience in children. At 64 Squares Chess Academy, we see these benefits every day in our students.
Focus and concentration
Playing chess requires sustained attention. Children learn to think ahead, consider options, and stay engaged for the full game. This habit often carries over into schoolwork and other activities.
Problem-solving and planning
Every move is a small problem: what to play, what the opponent might do, and how to reach a goal. Chess naturally trains if–then thinking and step-by-step planning.
Handling wins and losses
Chess teaches that losing is part of learning. Children who play regularly often become better at coping with setbacks and at improving from feedback—skills that last a lifetime.
A game for everyone
Chess does not depend on size, speed, or age. It is inclusive and can be started early and played for life. We welcome all children who want to learn and grow through chess.
