You couldn't possibly comment.Moreover, some schools reduced the number of maths lessons in the timetable in order to accommodate the chess lessons.

Re: Chess and schools
Not all bad them although of course this being chess, expect a Trumpesque ignoring of what the study has actually foundTwo key areas for intervention improvement emerged from the study. These were: (a) improving the teaching skills of tutors to help them keep all children engaged—specifically, improving their ability to manage difficult behaviour and manage classes where pupils had varying levels of ability; and (b) increasing the amount of tutor/class teacher liaison.

Re: Chess and schools
Thanks, David. I do remember that now, but I don't think I quite picked up on it at the time.
