• Life in the 21st century seems to be overflowing with obstacles and challenges we need to overcome. We can call all these potential problems ''life battles''. So allow you child to enter all these life battles armed with problem-solving skills. For many world leaders and great thinkers, these problem solving skills started on the chess board. Take for example, Isaac Newton, who was a very good chess player. 
• The patience required to come up with a solid strategy during a chess match is something your kids can never learn from a book or by you explaining it. It something the pieces on the chess board teach them best. Solving problems will be a piece of cake for them if they can learn how to avoid getting matted in chess. Let them play with Chess Universe and find out!

• We all know that in order to become a true chess master, one must study the board thoroughly. Additionally, remembering patterns played in the opening, middle and endgame are lifesavers for many chess masters. So how do they do it? 
• Chess guarantees a work out for your memory like no other, your kids will be more interested in memorizing if they know that the more they remember the better the match will be. We were all kids once, we know how much winning means to a child! So as parents we should do our best to keep our kids sharp and ready for the world, where competition is imperative and a good memory almost mandatory. 
• You prepare them by improving their memory. As this will be a stepping stone for school, university and their job eventually.

• There s nothing better to offer to a child than a chance to creatively express themselves. the chess board is in fact the perfect place to do so. 
• Chess is not only stimulating intellectually but it is a great game to trigger creative outbursts, both in the problem solving department and move making decisions. 
• Allow your child to truly take advantage of their potential by teaching them how to play this wonderous game. 
• Another research among students from grades 7 to 9 doing other activities, play chess, use computers once a week for 32 weeks to measure the most growth in creative thinking. The students were divided into two groups, but the chess group after 32 weeks scored higher in creativity activities with originality being their biggest area of gain.

• Concentration is so important for all of us, especially at a young and impressionable age. Chess can help here as well, and make sure that your child is concentrated on the task at hand. 
• During the game, the opponent won’t tell your kid which piece he moved, so your child should be focused on the game, paying attention to every single detail and piece. In turn, playing chess will help you to develop your kid’s concentration, not only in chess but also in different life situation. 
• When practicing chess, concentration becomes a must, therefore you turn it into something that comes naturally for your child.
