Overview
Significantly, these same qualities and skills form the foundation of the relatively new field of Positive Psychology, founded by Dr. Martin Seligman in the late 1990's. For example, just one of these qualities is patience. For a parent watching their former fidgety kid sitting still, concentrating on winning a chess game, over a board and opposite a real human, and not a computer or TV screen, is nothing short of miraculous! The book explores other qualities too.
To sum up, the teaching and learning experience, using the elements found in Why Chess Matters, is the best way to introduce people to the ancient game, and infuse skills and qualities not prevalent in other forms of teaching.
