Shree Samarth Chess Club

The game originated in India, around the 6th century AD., and its purpose was believed to be for
battle strategies. They used Chess to help improve mental abilities such as problem solving, critical thinking, pattern recognition, planning ahead, spiritual awareness, focus and  concentration. In chess, every move has a purpose. Life obviously cannot be lived with this much unceasing calculation, nor should we want to live it that way, but there are times when we must align our actions with a predetermined strategy, instead of bumbling through it. Take your time, but settle on one plan of action and then do it! Always consider the whole board when deciding on a move: decisions made with too narrow a focus are often bad. While working toward your wellness is up to you, receiving support from others, and giving support to others will help you feel better and enhance the quality of your life.
