From the UIL A+ Handbook 2022-2023,
The benefits of chess are well documented for players of all ages, and especially young people. Chess teaches problem solving, hones concentration and encourages analytical and strategic thinking. Chess can be a lifelong pursuit. Chess puzzle solving introduces students to the study of chess in a format that can be easily implemented in A+ school programs and district meets.
