Experience the power of chess to sharpen the mind, increase your strategic and creative thinking, and provide a fun outlet to connect with others.

I invite you to play chess with your spouse, friends, family and grandchildren.

The game of chess has long been known as the pastime of geniuses. From Napoleon to Karl Marx, may of our greatest thinkers have been captivated by the one-on-one struggle between opponents on the chessboard.

The battle planning involved in a chess game makes use of certain portions of the brain that decode temporal relationships. The workings of these relationships sharpen the mind.

In a study reported in The New England Journal of Medicine, officials said that people over age 75 who engaged in activities such as chess are less likely to develop signs of dementia.

Scientists have shown a link between playing chess and reducing the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Playing games like chess stimulates areas of the brain that would normally atrophy with age.

Just like exercising the body, mental exercise helps build-up the mind. Each game of chess requires your brain to go through the rigors it wouldn’t typically encounter.

The mental exercise that chess provides helps work the “gray matter” that would otherwise remain stagnant. The study’s main author, Dr. Robert Freidland, claims that people who don’t exercise their gray matter stand a chance of losing their brain power.

Are you ready to sharpen your mind while enjoying a fun, engaging game?
