The participants of International Research conference “Chess in the Russian and world educational system” have discussed the problem of including “Chess”, as a subject, in School Essential Program. It is supposed that chess will be a powerful tool for children. Therefore some practical recommendation has been made already.

Experience has shown that bringing chess lessons in International schools (Venezuela, Spain, the USA, Canada, Sweden, China, Slovenia, India and others) and Russian schools (Republic of Kalmykia, Republic of Sakha, the Tomsk and Pskov Regions, Khanty-Mansiisk autonomous district, Moscow and other Russian regions) allows to skyrocket the level of children logical reasoning, forces children make decision by themselves, develops ability to study and to make actions “in mind”. Finally these upsides increase children’ school educational progress in basic essential school program. This step is to be necessary now because lots of countries show their discontent with the educational system. Also a search of new educational subjects is capable to make the quality of education grow up.
