Scrabble for more practical measureable results.
Chess is good for strategic thinking but that's an overrated trait

Strategic thinking is a mental or thinking process applied by an individual in the context of achieving a goal or set of goals. As a cognitive activity, it produces thought.

Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.

Chess focuses on strategy and logic.

Learning to play chess as a child enhances all kinds of cognitive attributes—concentration, memory, logic, critical thinking and problem solving—in the developing brain, as multiple studies show. Indeed, many historians of chess believe the game was invented to help the children of Indian rulers to become strategic thinkers and capable leaders.

Colombia wey dun bow to Trump? You think say na chochocho?

The foreign ministry said Monday that a Colombian Air Force plane would leave Bogota in the afternoon for the US city of San Diego, to repatriate 110 Colombians.

The ministry said that there would be medical staff onboard and that a second Colombian aircraft would leave on a similar mission "in the coming days."

Petro, a left-wing former guerrilla, was the first Latin American leader to defy Trump over his plans for mass deportations, vowing that he would only accept migrants returned on civilian flights, who were not treated "like criminals."

I am not promoting chess in school because we want the children to become chess champions only, because the ones that can’t become chess champions can use the benefit of discipline to their brains and their minds to go into so many things and the cruise is endless. People are able to take endless decisions because in every stage people need to be analytical and also is in every stage people need to be critical like can we do this thing in this way or in another way so we can have the better results? Managing it so we can have the best result, as you know chess make people to sit down and be strategizing like in real life situations.

Monopoly

GanagiBitrus:
Even if my opinion counts 1million, it will never translate to ₦1million, so that makes it irrelevant.

But perhaps you are one of those who spend hours playing chess thinking you are doing something dignifying.
Bro, truth is there is no difference between you & those idle traders in the market who spend hours playing draft.

OA: Our major challenge is the attitude that has been put toward chess in Oyo, you know before Chess Heights came to Oyo state, some people thought if they are not the ones organizing a tournament, then the tournament should not be organized. We thought it should be made open. Some people felt that they owned the monopoly of chess in Oyo state before Chess Heights came and we did not think it was proper, and then they don’t have so much coverage in the geographical space in the city of Ibadan alone not to talk about the massive Oyo State. Someone to just be organizing in one corner of Ibadan and think he will be the alpha and omega of chess I don’t think that is proper.

Thats your opinion , unfortunately for you, your opinion dont count.

Chess offers little by way of cognitive development.

The value of a game like chess lies more in behavioural intelligence, than in the pure concept of intelligence. That is to say, it teaches behavioural attributes like patience, thinking ahead, risk management, and so on. But you're not going to play chess all day and turn into a math genius. Nope!

According to sociocultural theory of child development of Vygotsky (1978), human learning is primarily a social process and the initiation of human intelligence takes place in society or culture. Vygotsky (1978) considers that cultural development (as opposed to natural development) is associated with language and reasoning capability.

Since then, Republicans have repeatedly held the debt limit hostage to secure their demands, including in 2023, when they forced President Joe Biden to claw back investments in the Internal Revenue Service.

Through it all, Democrats have repeatedly pushed for no-fuss increases in the borrowing limit, arguing that demanding concessions in exchange for preventing a debt crisis was completely irresponsible.

Now that they’re out of power, however, Democrats say they should seize on this year’s deadline as an opportunity to abolish the debt limit — or suspend it for decades — as some in their ranks have been arguing for years.

With Trump, they may have a willing negotiating partner, even if his own party is less eager to cut a deal.

Akinpedia:
Both Scrabble and Chess can be played at various levels, making them suitable for children of all ages

Instead of choosing between these two fantastic games, consider incorporating both into your child's learning journey. They offer a unique blend of education and entertainment, fostering essential skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.
