Chess is one of the oldest and most popular board games in the world!
 It is usually played by two opponents on a checkered board, and the objective of the game is to capture the opponent’s king.
Sounds fun, right?
Well, it’s an intense game that requires a lot of thinking, planning, and patience.
However, a lot of people love the game because it provides structure, simplicity, and nuance to a world that needs it.
And if you’re familiar with a Netflix show by the name of “The Queen’s Gambit”, then you might have an idea of how the game of cheese can take over your mind.
It might remind you of the iconic scene in Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone, which proves that it can be an intense, yet fun game.
Or if you’re familiar with a Netflix show by the name of “The Queen’s Gambit”, then you might have an idea of how the game of cheese can take over your mind.
However, if you aren’t familiar with this show, you need to watch it!
 It is set during the Cold War era and follows an orphaned chess prodigy who struggles with addiction in a quest to become the greatest chess player in the world.
It’s an incredible show that greatly depicts the intensity of the game and has encouraged a lot of people to learn how to play.
So if this game sounds like something you might want to try then by all means keep on reading to find out the origin of the game and its benefits!
A lot of people might not know this, but the game of chess goes back to 1500 when the game originated in northern India and spread to Persia, which was then taken up by the Muslim world.
Eventually, it spread to Southern Europe, and the game was slightly altered in the manner in which the pieces can move.Â
By the 19th century, modern tournaments began to take place, and the first chess clock was used in 1883.Â
The purpose of the chess clock is to keep track of the total time each player takes for their moves and ensure that neither player over delays the game.Â
Although at times a game can take longer than expected with the longest game in history (1989) taking about 269 moves and lasted about 20 hours.
Eventually, they established the World Chess Federation in the 20th century, and the rest is history!
The game of chess is loved all over the United States, because not only does it bring people together but it can be very beneficial to your health.
Similar to puzzles, chess is a great tool for improving your memory skills since the game involves memorizing a lot of different plays or combinations of moves.
Because of this, chess players tend to develop higher thinking abilities which can lead to better reasoning skills or even responding well to a challenge.
And like many other activities, learning and playing chess can also spark creativity.
Most importantly, similar to learning a new language chess can help with preventing or delaying dementia and other neurological diseases by keeping your cognitive abilities sharp.
It might be a little harder to keep up at first, but it will eventually lead to increasing your brainpower!Â
But what does that mean?
It means you’ll be improving your multitasking and problem-solving skills.
On the other hand, chess might also boost a person’s social life by allowing one to connect to a vast array of people.Â
And bring about more growth in one's confidence, friendships, and of course, social skills.Â
You might be thinking that chess might be too much of a complex game for you to learn, but if a child can learn it, then so can you.
But let’s back up, the first thing you’ll study is the way the game is set up and all the ways certain pieces are allowed to move.
Some of the pieces can move diagonally, while others can only move back and forth.
So it could seem a bit tedious, but once you get the hang of it you’ll be in for a treat!
The key to chess is having fun and playing lots of simple games, such as those only involving bishops and pawns, so you get into the right mindset.
However, don’t be afraid to ask questions in between moves such as “why did you make that move” or “ what is your opponent trying to do” because evaluating a game is the best way to learning it.
Something you’ll eventually learn as you go is to always try and protect your king by capturing the attacker, blocking the attacker, or simply moving the king.
Besides, there are tons of sites where you can practice your moves online with a computer-generated opponent so you don’t feel the pressure of it being a real game.Â
Finding the right chess teacher will be a piece of cake especially with Superprof by your side to make the process a lot easier.
All you have to do is search within your area and select your level based on academics (elementary, middle school, college, etc.) or extracurriculars (beginner, intermediate & advanced).
We then do a thorough search for you based on your answers, and all you have to do is look at your options, select your top picks and send them a message!
