EXPLANATORY NOTE

The value of chess in the system of school education, based on its long-term

experience, vividly described the famous teacher-innovator V. Sukhomlinsky. He wrote:

“In the education of a culture of thinking, a large place was given to chess ... Boys

and the girls often sat at the chessboard. The game of chess is disciplined

la thinking, brought up concentration. But the most important thing here is the development

memory. Watching young chess players, I saw how children mentally recreate

the situation that was, and represent what will be ... ".

“It is legitimate to assert,” wrote Doctor of Psychology, Grandmaster N.V.

Krogius, - that chess can play a particularly beneficial educational role on

the period of life where the foundations of character and individual style are formed

for mental activity, that is, at school age.

Chess is one of the means in the formation of personality. Being at the same time

it is through science, art and sports that they educate logical thinking in a person.

knowledge, spatial imagination, creative approach to solving various problems,

volitional qualities, memory, sharpness and tenacity of thought, independence and responsibility

ness. The game of chess requires determination, courage, willingness to take risks and

at the same time, responsibility in making a decision, a certain caution.

The struggle of chess pieces turns out to be a projection of two characters, two creative

individuals, equally striving for victory, but going in different ways.

The power of fantasy, memory, attention, orientation in a difficult situation, the ability to

analysis and synthesis, physical endurance - all these qualities come to the rescue

tournament fighter and become his weapon in choosing the best move and variant from

thousands of possibilities. This is how the process of searching for the chess truth, which

appears not so much by itself, but by a striking contrast with others,

imaginary truths.

Scientific workers in the field of pedagogy emphasize that education presupposes

has an impact on both the rational and emotional spheres of the young lover

for chess. Of course, only a comprehensive solution to the problems of education allows

take into account all the variety of connections, factors and phenomena that determine the result

the effectiveness of the educational efforts of the teacher. Specifically, depending on

vegetable and individual characteristics the mentor-organizer should teach his

pupils to control themselves, to show firmness of character, will and self-control,

as well as professional qualification. It remains to add that pedagogical

observations and many years of experience in training sessions with children and adolescents

confirm the following. The higher a young chess player rises in qualification

steps, the more perfect his volitional and physical properties become,

the ability to acquire new knowledge and have the skills to study and work

While maintaining the consistency and unity of the proposed program, mutual

connection between theory and practice, the teacher must take into account the specifics of local conditions,

Differences in the composition of groups and the time devoted to classes. Can also be taken into account

students' requests.

We must not forget that the teaching of chess theory (opening and endgame) must

the same pedagogical requirements (from simple to complex, from familiar

to the unfamiliar), as far as this fits into the sphere of chess improvement

niya. The basis of improvement remains chess practice, participation in training

classes and qualifying competitions.

At the same time, the teacher should pay serious attention to a good study at school.

"Training program for young chess players of IV and III categories"

The program, compiled by V. Golenishchev, Honored Trainer, Master of Sports of the USSR, is intended for teaching chess in the palaces and houses of pioneers and is designed for coaches, teachers and leaders of circles working with beginning young chess players. The program assumes that students know the moves of the pieces, understand the purpose of the game, although they are unfamiliar with more complex rules of the game.
The curriculum is designed for 75 lessons (2 per week for 2 hours each), a total of 150 hours.
The scheme of the lesson is something like this: check homework, explanation of theoretical material, students recording homework and practical part. The duration of the theoretical part of the lesson should not exceed 20-30 minutes, since the majority of students are elementary school students. Chess attracts them, first of all, as a game, and in an effort to embrace the immensity, the teacher can kill the lively interest of young listeners.

Monthly magazine devoted to the game of chess and its literature. Published by M. Chigorin 1880-1881. St. Petersburg. Printing house V.O. Demakova. The great Russian chess player, the founder of the Russian chess school, Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin, published the magnificent magazines "Chess Leaflet" (1876-1881) and "Chess Bulletin" (1885-1887) for ten years. He was the main, and sometimes the only author there. Needless to say, these brightest examples of Russian chess thought have long since become practically inaccessible to the modern reader. Thanks to this work, it becomes possible to get acquainted with our priceless chess, historical and literary heritage. "It's nice to note that the luxurious, elite performance of this three-volume edition has no analogues in world chess literature," writes multiple world champion Anatoly Karpov in "Word to the Reader". The third volume includes two years: 1880-1881 WORD TO THE READER "Chigorin is the founder of the national chess school, an outstanding theorist, a contender for the world crown." How often have we had to read and hear these words, which have been erased from frequent use, began to seem like an empty banality. Meanwhile, Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin (1850 - 1908) was indeed the brightest creative person. A gambler, captivating person, he spared no effort and time for the sake of searching for chess truth, unraveling the secrets of an intricate opening or outwardly simple endgame position. In those distant years, universality had not yet become a "vital necessity" in chess, and therefore each major master had a clearly defined individual style, with its own advantages and disadvantages. The Russian champion believed in the dynamic potential of pieces, strove for open piece play, willingly sacrificed material for the initiative. His mighty opponent Wilhelm Steinitz placed above all unshakable positional values: the reliability of the pawn structure, dominance in the center, superiority in space. Chigorin and Steinitz played two matches for the world championship, many tournament and easy games, but their fundamental dispute was not only over the chessboard. Polemically sharp, uncompromising discussions of these titans and their followers adorned the pages of newspapers and magazines of those years. Chigorin was passionately fond of chess, and he was depressed by the lack of public interest in this game. wise game in our country. He sought to prove that chess is not an empty game; they can become a life's work, a real profession. In order to show chess in the most favorable light and attract the attention of an enlightened public, Chigorin published for ten years, mainly at his own expense, the magazines Chess Leaflet (1876-81) and Chess Bulletin (1885-87). He was the main, and sometimes the only author there. Needless to say, these brightest examples of Russian chess thought have long since become a bibliographic rarity. The modern reader is spoiled by the abundance of chess literature. However, without the historical aura that envelops the creative essence of a chess player, our inner world would be much poorer. The publishing house "Russian Chess House" makes a real feat, giving everyone the opportunity to get acquainted with our priceless chess, historical and literary heritage. It is pleasant to note that the luxurious, elite performance of this four-volume edition has no analogues in world chess literature. Anatoly Karpov, multiple world champion
