Chess Research Insights
Boost Grades by 20%
A 1992 New Brunswick (Canada) study split 450 students into three groups: C started chess lessons from first grade alongside math.
Remarkably, Group C’s scores skyrocketed from 62% to 81.2%, outperforming Group A by 21.46%!
A Workout for the Mind
Like exercise for the body, regular challenging play keeps the mind working at any age.
Research has linked board games like chess to healthier thinking skills later in life.
Use Both Sides of the Brain
Chess blends calculation and pattern recognition with intuition and imagination.
Logic and creativity get trained together, in every single game.
Train a Sharper Memory
Players keep openings, patterns and plans in mind while staying focused for a whole game.
Long, calm focus becomes a habit that carries over to homework and exams.
Think Step by Step
Before each move, players weigh options, predict replies and test their ideas: the same if-then thinking used in maths and science.
Kids learn to break a big problem into small, solvable steps.
Spark Creative Thinking
Every game asks for new ideas: an unusual plan, a surprising sacrifice, a fresh way to use each piece.
Children learn there is more than one route to a goal, and to look for the best one.

Your child interacts with an Upstep coach in a real online chess class environment. The Zoom link will be shared.
The coach assesses your child’s current chess level and learning needs.
After the demo, parents receive a clear view of their child’s:
A senior counsellor walks you through the roadmap, explains the recommended class format, answers your questions and helps you get started.
Designed for assessment and class experience—not a 20-minute crash course in chess.
