Good day everyone! Do you know how to play chess? Do you know how the pieces move? Do you know the rules? Do you play chess? At least once a month? Chess is a highly intellectual sport. There are ups and downs. There is a place for joy and for sorrow. There is a great opportunity to taste the taste of sweet victory and the taste of bitter defeat. There are excellent chances to stand on the podium with a cup or a medal. There is an opportunity to sit at the board and get your portion of adrenaline. There is time to think , and there are fractions of seconds to make a move. Chess is multifaceted. And chess is eternal. The first mention dates back approximately to the second century BC. One of the latest modifications - hundred-cell chess - was invented forty years ago. Chess is an excellent tool for the development of children. They are also an excellent tool for keeping adults in shape. I hope after reading this article, you will want to play a game or two. Or at least take a closer look at the grandfathers playing in the park. This photo shows our son and I’s triumph. It was a team family tournament in the Japanese chess Shogi. Before that, my son and I had experience in participating in such tournaments. We took third place several times and second once. This time our team was determined to win! Three weeks before the tournament, we began intensive training, playing at least one game of Japanese Shogi chess every day. Our efforts were rewarded - we deservedly received first place. Thus, I can declare with full responsibility the benefits of chess - as one of the ancient and at the same time relevant board games. I recommend taking it into service! You may not become a champion. But being an amateur, having fun, developing yourself and developing your loved ones - this chance can be used one hundred percent. In the near future I plan to write several teaching aids on chess, as there is a request from the parents of my students. Thank you for your attention, I was with you Kirill Budkevich.
