What does chess in education research reveal?
Because of the math, literacy, and critical thinking skills inherent in the game, chess as an educational tool can have a positive impact on students. Teachers report improved attitudes toward school and increased self-confidence in students who play chess.
As a result, chess in education research is an emerging field of study both within the United States and internationally. Rather than maintain an exhaustive list of research papers, this site provides a few links to compendiums of research as well as important recent papers.
