SCHOLASTIC CHESS PROGRAM BENEFITS YOUTH

If you wish information presented to your religious or social organization on a chess program that has been used nation wide to help students do better in school, contact Steve Seegmiller. He reported that in studies of the effectiveness of a scholastic chess program, chess was found to increase achievement in math and English, as well as other scholastic scores. It also improves self esteem, relationship skills and self confidence. Feel free to call Steve at A. G. Edwards-957-8100 if you want to get information on starting a Chess group for youth at your religious organization.
