Chess

Chess

The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent; this occurs when the opponent's king is in check, and there is no legal way to get it out of check. It is never legal for a player to make a move that puts or leaves the player's own king in check.

When playing chess, your brain will be challenged to exercise logic, develop pattern recognition, make decisions both visually and analytically, and test your memory. Chess can be enjoyed by any age—as a result, these brain exercises can be part of the health of your brain for your entire life.

Through chess, we learn how to analyze a situation by focusing on important factors and by eliminating distractions. We learn to devise creative solutions and put a plan into action. Learning how to use creative thinking skills in real-world scenarios helps students become better problem solvers in their everyday life.

Chess teaches you that just like in life, you need to create your own opportunities – and to never wait too long to make a move, because the perfect time may never come or come too late. Whether it be in chess, sports, or life you are in charge of creating your own opportunities and letting your skills do the talking.

That's my Hobby.
