What’ up! Ilana here. So in a previous post Lily talked about SET and how we would all be talking about our favorite games (Yay). I’m here to tell you about my favorite game, Chess. Chess has been my favorite game since I was seven years old, I even joined a Chess Club when I was nine. Playing Chess has always been… intriguing… to me anyway. How the other people strategize and how their thoughts effect their playing. I especially enjoy playing against more experienced players so that I can piggy back off them and use some of their strategies in future games.
Playing with children has a good effect on their thought process, especially during math. For children or adults Chess is a good way to build perspective, improve memory and cognitive abilities, strategic thinking and attention improvement, fight Dementia, helps ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and can improve mental age by up to 14 years, wow, and here I thought it was was just fun!
Not only does Chess have all of these positive helper thingies, it comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Chess is one of the most helpful games I have ever played.It’s a bonding game for sibling to sibling, and parent to child. You can find helpful games and not even know it, I think it’s creepy, you know when you have a favorite game and you don’t know it is helpful ‘till somebody tells you… creepy. Yeah, now see if you can get a Chess board and start playing today.
