More than 50 global studies demonstrate the importance of good chess training for schoolchildren. Many successful entrepreneurs and scientists testify to the usefulness of chess skills for their careers. More than 20 years ago, this project gave birth to the dream of a unique project in the world: analyzing the best thinking and reflection strategies of chess grandmasters gave birth to a practical and effective strategic model for planning and decision-making: the "King's Plan"!
Initially, the "King's Plan for Children" was only intended for managers, but today we also use chess to teach primary school children simple thought structures in a playful way that they can use in their daily school life, whether solving the next math problem or when they are stressed in the playground.
With "King's Plan," a compendium has been created, offering a guide and educational program for coaches, teachers, and parents. Complementary chess lessons, exciting stories, entertaining training games, brain-stimulating exercises, and vivid metaphors awaken children's enthusiasm for chess. Holistic exercises, such as "chess yoga," which also challenge the body, round off the program. You also have access to carefully curated videos from the Munich Chess Foundation.
In the new ChessBase e-book format.
