“Old people shouldn’t be forced to learn chess, but if they want to learn chess surely they can! They’re allowed to,” a young girl assures the interviewer in The Magic of Chess.
“Even though they could be doing something else – like playing Legos,” the young boy next to her adds.
This adorable short film featured on Vimeo will inspire any young student (and maybe some old people) to try the game of chess. The filmmaker, Jenny Schweitzer Bell, captured the many positive aspects of playing chess by interviewing boys and girls at the 2019 Elementary Chess Championship. The children tout the problem solving skills they have learned, and growth mindset is a constant theme. Their passion for the game is truly inspiring!
I am adding this delightful video to my Inspirational Videos Pinterest Board.
