Chess does build Character. “We always pride ourselves with chess being a gentleman's sport” Mr. Carrell says. Before every match they say “good luck” to one another and after every match they say “good job” and shake hands. It builds sportsmanship. Not only does chess build character and sportsmanship, it builds brainpower as well. Chess is a strategy game. It makes you think about the future and future steps that your opponent might make. Moves that you'll have to avoid or make in order to win. Always having a goal in mind is key. “ Best part is not knowing what you're going to do but anticipating what the other person's move is.”. It  gives you the ability to plan ahead or set a goal or passing obstacles which is helpful for actual everyday life. So if you feel like you would want to be apart of the chess club, join today!
