The State Duma proposed to include chess in the primary school curriculum, this will help children develop mental abilities. Depending on their inclinations, the students will be able to continue their studies in the future. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with the radio station "Moscow Speaks" by Oleg Smulin, a member of the lower house committee of the parliament for science and higher education. Chess really actively develops mental abilities. But I'm not sure we should make chess a mandatory part of math classes. I am sure that chess should be promoted in every possible way. Perhaps chess training should be included in the primary school curriculum. And depending on their inclinations and abilities, the guys will actively engage in them.
