  1. I.G. SukhinEDUCATIONAL COURSE IN CHESS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL4th London Chess Conference: The Didactics of Chess

  2. "Russia… Only in the 1990s that any systematic introduction of chess in schools began to develop. The Russian Education Ministry recommended "Шахматы – школе" ("Chess to school") by Igor Sukhin and textbooks for the first three years of primary school, together with teacher materials were produced". –FIDE "Chess in Schools: Our global future” (p. 28). – http://cis.fide.com/images/stories/GlobalFuture2_2014/globalfuture_150dpi_small_6.5mb.pdf

  3. The history of Chess in Schools in RussiaThe first publication concerning Chess in Schools in Russia was in 1903 (recommendation of Ministry of Education to use chess in the schools). In Modern History of chess in schools in USSR and Russia the great contribution to developing chess in schools was done authors Jakob Rokhlin (period 1935 – 1960), Alexander Kostyev (period 1977 – 1990), Igor Sukhin (1994 until now).

  4. In 2012 I.G. Sukhin’s monograph “School Subject “Chess” as a Tool of Developing Thinking: History, Methodology, Scientific Research and Experience of Implementation” (LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, 2012. – 280 pp.) was published in Germany.

  5. The monograph is devoted to the school subject “Chess” and covers a wide range of scientific and practice-oriented problems related to its promotion in the educational systems of different countries. The monograph is focused on a detailed scientific explanation of the necessity of introducing chess in the system of pre-school and school education. It goes to prove that developing children’s ability to act “in mind” is central to building up a chess course in school. There is a system of didactic tasks designed and presented by the author, which makes it possible to achieve this goal. The choice of the optimum format of a chess lesson is also underpinned. The monograph traces the history of this school subject from 1815 to spring 2012 when the European Parliament adopted the “Chess in School” declaration.

  6. The monograph provides a terminological and conceptual framework, reveals the results of scientific research, and considers the major issues of didactics. The monograph is meant for teachers-researchers and practitioners, as well as for a wide range of specialists who deal with the problem of chess education. Over the past years many countries have been engaged in modernizing the system of education, aiming to find and appraise school subjects which foster the intellectual development of the young generation and seeking to integrate them in the process of study. The experience accumulated by different nations makes it possible to consider “Chess” as one of such school subjects because it serves as a universal supranational means of developing children...

  7. What is the scientific platform for developing chess in schools? The basis was formed by the studies of the followers of the Soviet psychologist L. Vygotsky, P. Galperin's theory of shaping mental activities stepwise and Ya. Ponomarev's studies on the stages of developing an internal action plan – the ability to act "in mind".

  8. As a result, as far back as 1994 the Russian Ministry of Education approved program (author I. Sukhin) for primary school "Chess, First Year" (which served as a basis for the future 3-year Federal Course "Chess for School"), as well as the textbook “Chess, First Year, or Where Black and White Squares are Full of Mystery and Wonder”: Textbook for Primary School, First Year of Study: Part 1 and Part 2", teacher’s book "Chess, First Year, or I Learn and Teach" and other materials for the first year of study.

  9. In 1994 this program for primary school "Chess, First Year" was published in pedagogical press, and since 1994 chess has become an optional subject in Russian primary schools.

  10. Later materials for the second and third year of the course "Chess for School" were developed.

  11. As of today (2016), we have in Russia a scientifically grounded Federal Course "Chess for School", provided with programs, textbooks, teacher’s books, problem books, workbooks and testbooks (with a total of 22 books).

  12. The main purpose of the «Chess for School» Course is the phased development of children's ability to act "in mind" In the 1960s it was found that the only intellectual ability which cannot be reduced to a mere accumulation of knowledge and skills and which develops in the course of learning is the ability to act “in mind”. This ability is one of the most important indicators of the overall development of human psyche; it is the indissoluble unity of imagination, attention, memory and thinking, which consists in the human ability to operate in mind with the substitutes of real objects (without performing any large-scale actions with them in space). Development of the ability to act “in mind” is important for all kinds of human activity because each of them requires that one should perform a certain sequence of operations.

  13. It is known that the ability to act “in mind” should be specifically developed, and its development is a slow process, involving prolonged mental education of children and finishing at the age of about 12 years. Most intensely this ability develops at a young age, but in conventional systems of education it is not purposefully and consistently shaped. For this reason, the ability to act “in mind” only reaches its optimum level of development in 5 % people. A clearly structured process of teaching the basics of chess to children is the most appropriate tool that allows us to develop the ability to act “in mind”. All the components of the “Chess for School” course have been specifically developed to achieve this global objective.
