Ajedrez: La enseñanza de las 4 materias a los niños
1. Ajedrez y Matemáticas: Cada pieza en un tablero de ajedrez tiene un valor. Algunas piezas tienen más valor que otras. Si permites que tu rival capture las piezas más fuertes, mientras que proteges las de menor valor, te puede costar el juego. El ajedrez ayuda a los niños a calcularlo mentalmente.
2. Ajedrez y la escritura: Las reglas del ajedrez mandatan que los jugadores tienen que llevar un registro del juego. Esto anima a los niños a escribir.
3. Ajedrez y lectura: El ajedrez anima a los niños a leer, porque para perfeccionar su juego, tienen que estudiar libros de ajedrez con el fin de aprender las reglas y estrategias.
4. Ajedrez y el respeto: En el ajedrez, hay que respetar a uno mismo y a tu oponente. Cada juego comienza y termina con darse la mano. El ajedrez es juego de reyes y reinas y no hay lugar para el engaño o frustración cuando se pierde.

"Chess teaches foresight, by having to plan ahead; vigilance, by having to keep watch over the whole chess board; caution, by having to restrain ourselves from making hasty moves; and finally, we learn from chess the greatest maxim in life - that even when everything seems to be going badly for us we should not lose heart, but always hoping for a change for the better, steadfastly continue searching for the solutions to our problems".
