The Chess Club meets formally each week and informally throughout the school year to play chess and other games as well. All Cadets are welcome to join the club or just come by and learn the game.
Cadets play chess because it is a fun way to challenge each other but there are many other benefits to learning chess in high school:
- Spatial-reasoning ability
- Attention span
- Visual memory
- Critical thinking
- Problem-solving
- Analysis
- Evaluation
- Acquisition of new knowledge
