max — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 23:18:30 +0000

Chess for long has been regarded as a game of strategies and tactics and several theoreticians have developed extensive chess strategies and tactics since the game's inception. The game is not merely referred to as a source of entertainment but it also helps you to develop and enhance several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful for human development.

A good study of the game of chess can help you increase your analytical skills. Chess learning through practical methods such as online chess lessons can be an effective way of learning the game. Chess is a very challenging game and it requires the player to be mentally active and have a deep concentration to perform well in the game. Chess can actually help in slowing the effect of certain terrible disorders & problems such as MS, Alzheimer's and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

During the last few years, there has been a clear ascension in the number of kids who are diagnosed as having ADHD, and the numbers are on a continuous increase. The common treatment used nowadays to handle ADHD problems is the administering of medicines as they help to accelerate the slow brain processing-typical condition. Parents find themselves chasing after different kinds of solutions: psychologists, drugs etc. The doctors make all kinds of diagnosis, but unfortunately in most of the cases they admit that there is no 100% cure for these problems.

Chess has been characterized as a "brain using" game and forces the child to use the following skills:

* Attention

* Long distance planning thinking

* Memory

* Ability to resist external provocations

* Global and General vision of what is occurring around the child

* Patience

* Forecasting of future steps

That is why it is believed that chess can be a great way to help ADHD kids improve their thinking skills. Educators say chess is a valuable tool for teaching creative thinking, math, reading skills and patience to elementary schoolers. Learning Chess will help the child to use his mind in an efficient manner that enhances their thinking skills. According to Chess teachers, the study of chess is effective in teaching patience and concentration to students with short attention spans and those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. There have been no scientific studies on ADHD and chess, but educators say chess for kids is remarkable in its ability to make kids pay attention. In fact learning chess has been combined in the school program syllabus in more that 30 countries.

Chess Position Practice #3: Candidate Moves

max — Sat, 24 May 2008 20:27:44 +0000

This video series will focus on analyzing chess positions, and generating candidate move orders from the position without moving the pieces or using computer analysis. The goal is to improve the ability to generate lines and variations mentally during a game, and to try to come up with a move that either maintains equality on the board, or paves the way for a slight positional edge.

I recommend pausing the video at the appropriate time and generating your own candidate moves. If this is something new you are working on improving, it's recommended that you write down your lines and over time you will be able to do this all in your head during a match.
