Politicians and sponsors used to ask, "why chess?" when I talked about introducing the game into a school curriculum. Now they ask how fast we can help make it happen!

The science is strong and the results are fantastic. Chess improves results in every area, not just math and science. It improves concentration, logic, and because it's fun there's an incentive that leads to improved attendance. Plus, it's inexpensive, with no stadiums or costly equipment needed. You can help by contacting your local schools, political representatives, and other officials and asking about getting chess into the classroom.
