Problem Solving is a skill disparately needed to be taught to youth and future workers.

TO be honest, as an avid chess player, I’d say “to be able to play chess” – it’s an end in of itself

For me, learning to play chess as a child gave me time with my Father as we were the only players in the family and we didn’t really do ‘family time’. My Father worked a lot when I was young so this was really important time for me. Maybe not an obvious answer, but for me a very valid one.

Self-confidence…

A self-confident person can see himself through any situation.

Before I even finished reading the post my first thought was patience. Then I read the choices and “problem solving” jumped out at me. I’m a huge believer in emotional intellgence skills and not just academic ones. Learning how to navigate a test at school is one things, but kids need to learn how to navigate the tests of life. Problem solving skills are vital for this.

Playing chess develops problem solving skills. Players think about (and calculate) the probable outcomes of each move. This is game theory.
