Chess

Chess at RIS is introduced as a structured part of the curriculum to develop cognitive and social skills for students from Grade 1- 4:

• Enhances critical thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving abilities. • Improves memory, concentration, and decision-making skills, supporting academic performance.
• Fosters patience, focus, and analytical thinking, encouraging thoughtful approaches to challenges.
• Builds sportsmanship, respect, and collaboration, as students compete fairly and learn from peers.
• Provides opportunities to identify talented players for the school chess squad and inter-school competitions.
• Lessons are integrated within the timetable, ensuring consistent practice alongside academic learning.
• Encourages confidence, resilience, and logical reasoning, essential life skills applicable beyond chess.

At RIS, chess is not just a game — it is a tool for nurturing intellect, character, and strategic thinking in every student.
