Many believe that learning chess would help one develop skills that would be useful and important in life (academic & work) now and later on, like creative problem solving, analytical thinking, concentration, strategic/tactical planning, etc. Our coaches love to inspire and motivate their students to analyze logically and plan independently, in a fun and interactive environment where the instructors would ask the students a lot of questions, like on their thinking processes.
