When the next day on June 3 at the school be closed Rosales Molina de Segura the Sixth Circuit Regional School Chess-Educajadrez Truth will complete a course in which 1,500 schools across the region have settled but thoughtful bloodless battles board of 64 squares.
The tour is led by Francisco Garcia Diego Albarracin, International Chess Master, a distinction that identifies you as one of the leading specialist in this ancient practice.
The importance of this activity gives an idea of ​​the fact that 35 schools in the region involved in each new edition: "In our region there is great love for chess, he asserts, and practice begins at five in the school" .
Wise King Recognition
The tournament circuit and Alfonso X the Wise, which this year has reached its sixth edition equally, is organized by Educajedrez, framed in Sports Activities Service of the University of Murcia, whose coordinator is Jesus Gomez Ruiz.
Calling a tournament Alfonso X the Wise is a tribute to the king set out in the arms of the University of Murcia in the thirteenth century compiled and translated "chess games, and craps tables with explanations ordered by King Alfonso the Wise" , which is the oldest book about chess.
The tournament, which brings together each year to students from primary, secondary and university education, convened last March in the lecture hall of Mercy more than one hundred participants.
Both point out that before the organization of these events had almost no tournaments Murcia and places that clump together and concentrate on chess fans.
"We intend to ensure campus-Digital-promote chess in an educational and formative."
As part of the Sports Activities Service, UMUajedrez tries disclose chess and promote your practice in order to incorporate new students and help to those that practice that can continue to do so, giving the university the opportunity to practice two evenings a week.
A best practice by the European Parliament
"Development of memory, intelligence, mental reflexes, learning to make decisions at risk of being wrong, will, concentration ... are some of the skills that chess power," say, not forgetting, of course "respect for the adversary," something that is well understood by the fans.
A respect which, as they say, is well above what exists in other sports, as the tension in a confrontation, there is, is relieved exclusively by the board.
For Garcia Ruiz and Gomez Albarracin, chess is a highly recommended practice.
The European Parliament itself has recognized its importance, including chess as an elective subject in schools and "recommending, says Garcia Albarracin-inclusion in the study."
The recommendation of the European Parliament took place on March 15 when it approved a proposal promoted by the former champion Garry Kasparov World.
The recommendation considers "the chess game accessible to children of any social group, could improve social cohesion and contribute to policy objectives, such as social integration, combating discrimination, reduced crime rates and even fighting various addictions. "
The European Parliament explains that "whatever the child's age, chess can enhance concentration, patience and persistence and can help you develop a sense of creativity, intuition, memory and skills, analytical and decision- decisions, that chess also teaches values ​​such as determination, motivation and sportsmanship. "
These values ​​are enhanced by this practice which has led the European Parliament to support the introduction of the "Chess in School" in the educational systems of member states of the European Union.
For these reasons, both attempt to launch in Molina de Segura "pilot-tested in order to provide an elective course that could be extended to other centers and would allow the practice of this modality to students from age six."
This incorporation would require further training teachers learn to be in chess, something they are already having conversations.
