Chess is also one of the most beneficial games you can teach a child, fostering critical developmental skills and instilling important life-long lessons. Does playing chess improve reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills? Research results indicate significant improvements in verbal reasoning, which is a component of linguistic intelligence. Aside from developing cognitive skills, chess also develops children’s social skills. A benefit for children of playing games with rules consists in developing social aspects, such as taking turns, learning fair play, self-respect and respect for others, understanding others’ perspectives, and developing empathy. Chess is also associated with emotion regulation, which is a term that consists in the ability to process, influence, and control our emotional state.
