Chess workshop at Emerald Heights on June 5
Principals and directors of all CBSE and ICSE schools in the city received an invitation to attend a workshop on ‘Chess as an Educational Tour’. In this regard, a workshop will also be organized at Emerald Heights School on June 5.
At first, some of them were a bit skeptical. They had always thought of chess as a recreational activity, something to be done in leisure time. But then they learned that chess was a game of logical thinking, and it had been proven that a chess player performs much better than others in education.
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) formed a “Chess in Education Commission” for the benefit of students through chess. Jerry Nash, who was the Chairman of the Chess in Education Commission (FIDE), was coming to India and would be conducting an International Workshop for a day at various places in India.

The workshop proved to be an eye-opener for all the attendees. They learned a lot about the benefits of playing chess in education. They realized that chess was not just a recreational activity but a tool for skill development such as critical thinking, communication, creative thinking, and collaboration.The Principals and Directors were particularly impressed with the workshop and decided to nominate at least five teachers from their schools who engaged in Science and Mathematics subjects. They hoped that their students would develop through “Chess as an Educational Tour.”
The nomination process was done, and the workshop was a huge success. The teachers who attended the workshop were excited to apply the skills they learned in their classrooms. It was a great step towards making the education system better and more innovative.In the end, the Principals and Directors felt proud to have attended the workshop and felt confident that their students would excel in their education thanks to the benefits of playing chess.
