A game of chess

The richness of contents, ideas and suggestions leads us to consider chess as an activity with broad pedagogical potential, precisely because of the possibility of considering its cognitive, affective, social and expressive aspects.
The framework offered by the game of chess is a space in which to insert gaming activities, full use of thought, socialization, self-expression, respecting the stages of evolutionary development and in accordance with the purposes and values of responsible citizenship
