The town of Almoradí is embarking on an innovative project to introduce chess into schools, aiming to motivate students to discover this strategic game. Led by the Education Department, under Susana Miralles, this initiative intends to enhance concentration, memory, logic, and problem-solving skills among students, while also promoting values such as respect and sportsmanship.

Starting on the second of April and lasting until the eleventh, the Education Department, in collaboration with Ajedrez Master, is bringing chess lessons to several schools, including Colegio Santa María de la Huerta, CEIP Manuel de Torres, among others. The curriculum covers the basics of chess, including its history, game rules, and piece movements, all delivered in a fun and engaging manner.

Miralles emphasized the educational value of chess, describing it as a valuable tool for developing strategic thinking and decision-making skills. The project not only focuses on classroom instruction but also includes interactive experiences, such as meeting a chess champion to inspire and motivate students further.

Two additional sessions will be offered on the second and ninth of May for interested students. These sessions will be tailored for different age groups at the Music School, aiming to solidify interest in the game and lay the groundwork for a chess school and a forthcoming tournament in Almoradí.
