“Research work “Chess – a sport or an intellectual game? Chess: is it a sport or an intellectual game? Mind games chess

Once upon a time, entire generations grew up listening to the sound of dominoes in the yard. And boxes with chess, checkers and lotto took pride of place in almost every apartment. Today, the computer and television have pushed board games into the background. But experts say that by deleting the passion for intellectual games from our lives, we deprive ourselves of great opportunities. After all, board games are both therapy and the development of skills necessary for competent management of one's life.

Chess. mind gymnastics
A LOGIC game that combines elements of art, science and sports. One of ancient games on the ground. Chess contributes to the development of mental abilities, memory, creative thinking. Learn to develop multi-way combinations in your mind.

Go. Craving for philosophy
More than 50 million people play GO. This game develops systematic thinking, the ability to think strategically and develop tactics. Also, the game inclines a person to philosophizing. The point is that people who play Go deal with images. A fuzzy image of a pattern of stones formed on a board spins in a person's head and mysteriously influences the fuzzy logic of decision making. They say that is why the computer is not yet able to beat a person in this game.

Checkers. Thinking patterns
LIKE chess, checkers reproduce the actions of forces fighting according to certain rules. The game develops the combinatorics of thinking (the ability to think in combinations of images).

Shogi (Japanese chess). Game of feelings
THEY SAY, in order to make a correct, winning move in shogi, you need to feel it. Even in ancient times, shogi in Japan was recognized as a game that develops strategic and tactical military thinking. In Japan, this game is elevated to the rank of shrines, in many schools it is included in the compulsory curriculum. And although few people in Ukraine have even heard of shogi, it was the Ukrainian who became the champion of Europe and the open World Championship in 2008.

Domino. Understanding the structure of the universe
It is said that originally dominoes were intended exclusively for divination and magical ceremonies. It is even supposed that the dominant system of the universe is encrypted in dominoes - the Universal Law of Harmony of macro- and microcosm. And even the newfound name of the game - "goat hammering" does not detract from its merits. Domino develops focus, concentration, logical thinking, the ability to analyze the situation, attentiveness, observation and memory.

"Cash flow" (CashFlow). business game
"CASH FLOW" is a modern adult version of the well-known "Monopoly". A specially trained trainer can teach you how to play Cash-Flow. Supporters of the game claim that the money spent on training (about UAH 100) will pay off very soon. After all, the game allows the player to analyze their life and financial mistakes, realize them, and then real world to correct.

Backgammon
THIS IS ANCIENT oriental game had a special meaning for the Persians: it symbolized the movement of the stars and served as a subject for divination. In addition, according to the results of the game, partners often resolved commercial disputes: the winner dictated his terms to the loser. This happened because, according to the Persians, only a person whom fate loves could win in backgammon (sends a “good stone” - suitable numbers on dice), who knows how to think logically and see through the enemy, foreseeing his possible moves and blocking their negative consequences in advance.

Cards
EACH card game – separate world. And almost every one is useful for something: preference and "fool" train the mind, the ability to calculate the situation in advance and memory, and such "children's games" as "witch" and "hello, jack" can turn players into real psychologists who can concentrate at the right moment.

BY THE WAY

Today, the Federation of Board Games of Ukraine is trying to return the former glory to board games. And even dominance computer games does not scare the activists of the federation. “Due to the intensive development of computer games, board games are now in a period of decline,” says Denis Krasnokutsky, Head of the Department of Mass Events of the Federation of Board Games of Ukraine. - But the fantasy of man will not allow this to happen, they can be reborn. We strive to expand people's understanding of board games With the help of special projects, we plan to open intellectual clubs in every school. And in the near future, going to a cafe or a bar, over a cup of tea, each visitor will be able to have a good time with friends, playing their favorite "board". We can say that we are creating a new culture, where sociability, intelligence and other human qualities that can be shown and improved through the game will again be welcomed.

COMPETENT

Valery Aristov, President of the Foundation for the Development of Intellectual Abilities, "Galaktika" President of the Association of Intellectual Games, Researcher Institute of Pedagogy of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Ukraine, director of the author's school, academician of the European Academy of Natural Sciences and the International Academy of Original Ideas:

“The one who looks at chess or checkers only as recreation and entertainment is mistaken. On the contrary, games should be perceived as a psychological model for the development of human intellectual abilities. And above all, as the development of attention, which is always at the epicenter of mental activity. Intellectual game creates cognitive therapy - the management of emotions, develops imagination - the main component of creative thinking. On the model gameplay, in conditions of hidden delight or panic, the player involuntarily learns to control his emotions. It is especially important that they are brought up at the table volitional qualities player, his tolerance is formed, there is a consideration of processes that will later be useful for life situations. This is the planned formation of experience, or as it is now called - training.

In the course of the game, a person is formed who learns to take risks and always, in constantly changing situations, strives to play his game without losing to the opponent. Each time, overcoming psychological discomfort from the destructive impact of internal "brakes" - insecurity, doubts, feelings of danger and fear - the player cultivates self-respect and pride. At the same time, the ability to doubt the obvious is brought up and, neglecting the authorities in a particular field of activity, to look for alternative ways to solve the problem. And what is especially important, the culture of player behavior is being nurtured.

An intellectual game is good because most players, without even thinking about the consequences, develop in themselves not only memory, steady attention, attentiveness, observation, figurative, logical, creative and philosophical thinking, speed of thinking, thinking on, the ability to think for a partner, as well as patience, confidence, endurance (during psychological pressure, loss or gain), perseverance, tolerance and other strong-willed and personal qualities. They help you communicate! Mind sports are needed no less, if not more, than physical ones. The development of the intellect of the nation and the well-being of the country depend on this.”

Experts advise teaching chess from childhood. Making independent decisions and playing around with different situations on the board will have a positive effect on the formation of personality. Children with ease and excitement overcome any difficulties and learn from mistakes. They have a competitive spirit, ready to gain experience in certain techniques. By learning from each move, children learn to take advantage of misses. Rules chess game

The game of chess is not at all entertainment, as it may seem from a superficial study of its rules. Understanding the principles of how pieces move around the board is not enough. It is necessary to possess certain abilities leading to success. After all, it is not for nothing that championships are regularly organized even at the world level among countries to determine the winner. You can become a good strategist only with constant practice. Training should be carried out constantly, this will help chess players acquire such qualities as patience, attention, tactical skills, the ability to make many combinations in a limited time.

It's easy enough to understand the rules. To do this, it is enough to read a book about passion. You can find any edition in libraries, shops or the Internet. Electronic scoreboards with chess are posted on the Web, where you can also find an opponent - a robot. You can install the application on a PC, tablet or even a phone. If a hobby turns into something more, then in cities you can always find free place in the chess club. There you can find friends with the same interests and get trained by trainers together.

It is better if someone who is good at chess gives a trial lesson. Moves should be done slowly, carefully considering the consequences of rearranging each piece on the board. The "Live Mentor" will tell you mistakes and tell you how to avoid them.

The first impression about chess may seem erroneous. For some, they will seem too complicated and confusing, requiring a lot of time to prepare, for others - boring. Classes must be repeated daily, only in this way the essence of the game becomes clear. Over time, players notice that they begin to think differently, analyze events, draw completely different conclusions, and the world for them begins to look like the reasoning of their peers, differently.

Don't forget about an active lifestyle! There is not only benefit from chess, but there is also harm. It is connected with the fact that it takes a lot of time to think through the moves. All this time it is required to remain still. This sport should be combined with outdoor activities, swimming, running, basketball, football.

Chess is intellectual sport game between two opponents using a 64-cell board and a special set of pieces. The origins of the name of the game are the Persian word shah (sah), meaning "king", and the Arabic word mat (mat), meaning "died".

The progenitor of chess is considered to be the ancient indian game- chaturanga, which is mentioned in various sources of the 6th century AD. From India, chaturanga spread to Persia, where, having undergone changes in the rules of the game, it was called shatranj. This game was very popular in the Middle East in the 7th-9th centuries. From the Arabs, the game went to Africa, to Rus' and through Spain to Europe.

Chess. Three stages in a game:

1) Debut (from French debut - beginning) - the initial stage of the game, which, depending on the development of events over the board, lasts the first 10 - 15 moves. This stage of the game is the most well studied by chess theory, there are dozens of different openings with many variations in each of them.

2) Middlegame (from German mittelspiel) - the middle of the game. The stage that begins after the completion of the debut. In the middle game, combinational play, tactical attacks, attacks on the king, etc. are fully manifested. If the game does not end at this stage, then it moves on to the next one.

3) Endgame - (from German endspiel) - the end of the game. In this final stage few pieces remain on the board in a chess game, but this does not mean that it is easy to play the endgame. Here, in contrast to the combinational middlegame, the skills of positional play, competent completion, previously obtained advantages, etc. come to the fore.

In 1999, it was recognized by the International Olympic Committee, after 2 years FIDE introduced anti-doping rules in chess, all this is aimed at making chess an Olympic sport in the near future.
