Learning and playing chess helps primary school children develop critical problem-solving and strategic thinking skills while improving focus, memory, and patience.

It can also foster emotional resilience by teaching young children to handle wins and losses gracefully and encourages planning and logical reasoning, making it a valuable activity for cognitive and personal growth.
