“…Children may have the opportunity to develop higher-order thinking skills such as ToM while playing chess. Kazemi et al (2012) conducted a study with students at various grades to investigate the impact of playing chess on the development of mathematical problem-solving capability and meta-cognitive ability of these students. According to the results of their study, students playing chess have shown better achievement in both mathematical problem solving capabilities and metacognitive abilities compared to other students who don't play chess.…”

“…In the literature, the effectiveness of chess were investigated on some topics such as problem solving involving geometric and numeric patterns (Ferreira and Palhares, 2008), reading scores (Margulies, 1991), intelligence (Bilalic et al, 2007;De Bruin et al, 2014), problem solving skills (Erhan et al, 2009), scholastic achievement (Thompson, 2003), entellectual and socialemotional enrichment (Aciego et al, 2012), metacognitive ability (Kazemi et al, 2012), spatial concepts (Dikici-Sigirtmac, 2012) and mathematics (Barrett and Fish, 2011;Romano, 2011;Aydın, 2015). Some findings of these researches suggest that chess help improve these skills while some studies conclude that there is a complex relationship between chess and improvement of other skills.…”

In recent years, chess training is offered as a compulsory elective course in some pre-schools, whereas it is not offered in some other pre-schools. There are children who attend chess clubs outside of schools. Chess is considered to be a game of intelligence, and its effects on individuals have been the subject of many researches. This study was conducted to investigate whether chess training has any impacts on creativity and theory of mind skills of children. For this purpose, the study was conducted on a total of 87 children including 41 children who received chess training (67.9 months old) and 46 children who didn't receive any chess training (68.46 months old). As a result, the scores of children who had chess training were found to be higher than scores of other children both in creative thinking and theory of mind tests, and the difference between scores of these children were also found to be statistically significant.

“…Mind games are also used in learning-instruction process like computer games. Kazemi, Yektayar, and Abad (2012) stated that teaching chess improves the mathematical problem solving abilities of students at different educational level considerably and contribute increasing the students' meta-cognitive abilities. The problem solving ability is a complex interaction between cognition and meta-cognition.…”

In this research, the effects of using game in mathematics teaching process on academic achievement in Turkey were examined b y metaanalysis method. For this purpose, the average effect size value and the average effect size values of the moderator variables (education level, the field of education, game type, implementation period and sample size) were calculated. MetaWin and Comprehensive MetaAnalysis (CMA) statistical programs were used for the analysis. Based on the inclusion criteria, 31 effect size values for 26 studies were calculated. Hedges's g coefficient was used when the effect sizes were calculated and the confidence level was accepted as 95%. The average effect size value was 0.792 with 0.077 standard error which was calculated by random-effects model. As a result, the effects of using game on academic achievement is medium and positive in mathematics teaching process.

Abstract-Chess is an excellent tool for mentoring children. The present study analyzes the impact of the frequency of chess training on increases in the IQ of children. The frequency of chess training refers to the time the chess coach spends with the child and hence translates into a mentoring component. In the chess training program, the child is mentored as the chess coach works closely with the child. Two chess training programs are compared in the study-chess in schools (once a week) and chess in academy (biweekly). The chess-in-academy program had a higher level of mentoring than the chess in schools program. IQs of 61 children studying in chess academy were compared with IQs of 25 children studying chess in school. Pre-and post-chess-training IQs were assessed using Binet-Kamat Test of Intelligence. Statistical analyses were carried out. Significant IQ gains were observed in both programs, resulting in a 9-point average IQ increase in the biweekly program compared to a marginal 4-point average IQ gain in chess in the schools program. This higher impact on IQ could be attributed to the strong mentoring relationship in the biweekly program.
