Grandmaster said about the need to introduce chess in schools

It was necessary to include chess in the school curriculum for a long time, because thanks to this game, children develop intellectually. This was stated by IS “Vesti” senator, grandmaster, chess player Sergey Karjakin.

He cited the example of the Republic of Kalmykia and the Kursk region, where schools decided to introduce the game of chess.

“There are positive examples, and I agree that it would be better, of course, to introduce it a long time ago, but it means working with what is, as they say,” said Karjakin.

At the same time, the grandmaster believes that it is impossible to force schoolchildren to play chess.

“The task of chess in schools is to introduce the basics of the game, with some general rules. And then, if there is further interest, then, of course, it is necessary to develop professionally, he said.
