Why is it worth playing chess?

Chess improves concentration, increases intelligence levels, teaches logical thinking, quick analysis, and creating effective strategies. It is called the royal game. English monarchs, among others, have particularly favoured it. Richard the Lionheart, Ivan the Terrible, Philip II, Casimir the Great, and Sigismund the Old played chess. The game appeared in Europe in the 6th century, but the first official tournaments took place about 700 years later.

In Poland, the greatest chess enthusiast was King Sigismund the Old. However, looking at the history of the game, it is also worth mentioning Włodzimierz Schmidt. He made his mark in the history of Polish chess as a legend. He won the Polish Chess Championship seven times in classical chess, and these are not his only achievements.

Types of chess

The simplest division of chess is:

1. Traditional, which includes European classical chess.
   
   
2. Modern chess, which includes, among others, Polish chess. They are also known as hexagonal chess. Their characteristic feature is the shape of the chessboard, which takes the form of a hexagon.
   
   
3. Solo chess, intended for playing alone, or group chess, which is for two or three players.
   

Another division of chess can be observed based on their size and purpose. Here, too, there is a division into classical chess, which usually have a wooden board and pieces, and travel chess, which are magnetic. They are perfect for travel, both in hotels and in means of transport.

The most important features of travel chess

When buying magnetic chess, pay attention to their most important features, which are:

• The strength of the magnets is also important to keep the pieces on the board during potential turbulence on a plane or train.
  
  
• Functionality. The chessboard and pieces should be resistant to moisture and UV rays.
