In chess, in order to determine the status of chess players and their ranks in classification, World Chess Federation awards players with titles - provided that they fulfill certain criteria. The greatest title that can be earned is the title of Grand Master. In this study, age of becoming Chess Grand Masters has been studied. The factors which have caused the age of becoming a Great Master to fall rapidly in recent years have been researched. It has been found that birth dates close to our day and other social opportunities are influential in the fall of the age of Grand Masters.

Psychological Indicators Ensuring Efficiency of the Chess Player's Competitive ActivityThe work is based on the discussion of psychological problems in modern chess, which are significantly related to the rapid growth of chess competitiveness in recent years, the frequency of participation in competitions, the intensity of competition and other similar manifestations. The study purpose. We tended to identify the most important psychological indicators that ensure the effectiveness of the chess player's competitive activity, to describe their correlational relations and the peculiarities of their manifestation. Materials and methods. The research process was carried out with interconnected laboratory-instrumental and non-instrumental methods, which are of great practical importance in psychology: questionnaires, tests, observations, mathematical statistical methods, as well as self-made "psychodiagnostic multifactorial" equipment. The research was organized among 30 grandmasters in the National men's chess team of the Republic of Armenia through diff...
This study analyzes the correlation between chess test (T23) and different characteristics of the participants: amount of practice, perception of their position in the group, academic average and gender. The hypotheses that were developed indicated a positive correlation between the test and the different characteristics that were analyzed. The statistical analysis, based on the one-dimensional analysis of the principal variable, and the coefficients of correlation and contingency were useful for this study. The subject sample consisted of 149 students between 9 and 12 years old from two different school centers from Catalonia. The results indicate that the relation between the obtained value at the T23 and the different characteristics of the subjects was positive, but with low scores in general. The research adds information to the multiple studies that have been made around this subject and opens the possibility to reflect on the possible relationship between chess and education.
The conventional method of rating chess players uses a method called "scoring" to reduce a trinomial process to a binomial making it possible to rate chess playing strength with a single scalar measure. This simplicity is achieved at a cost because the scoring process causes some information to be lost. Two dimensional measures of playing strength, though more cumbersome to use, may have greater validity because they contain more information1.

Chess and the Modern Commander2017 •
Abstract strategy games such as Chess are a proven method for increasing intellect, critical thought and development of the military mind. As the Army embraces emerging methodologies such as blended learning, simulation, online study and academic blogs, it would be prudent to maintain equilibrium with traditional approaches. Military commanders must possess the ability to face unanticipated circumstance and react with considered purpose, intent and boldness. Playing chess on a regular basis develops imagination and creativity, encourages initiative, decisive action and provides familiarity with making decisions under pressure; without the risk or resource expenditure required by other methods. Crucially, time in uniform does not inevitably result in professional competence. Therefore, intellect must be intentionally nurtured and desirable traits, encouraged. Chess is not war – but it can be used as a mechanism to develop many of the traits desirable in a commander; decision-making, creativity, patience, vision and adaption. Playing chess will not directly produce a genius of either academics or war, nor can it act as preparation for the rigours and complexities of the modern battlespace.

Queens in the shadow of kings – sociological notes on the historical process of women’s discrimination and emancipation in chess2020 •
The article concerns the unequal position of men and women in chess. This inequality is currently manifested in the male-dominated population of chess players, gender determined differences in the game level attained, and financial discrimination. Historical analysis shows that over the centuries chess has been regarded as a pastime suitable for both men and women. It was only the process of institutionalization of chess as a sport (and turning it into serious leisure activity, in R. Stebbins’ typology), which took place in the era of industrial society, that discrimination against women in chess came about. The emancipatory activities of women in this field, dating back to the second half of the 19th century, were commented on in the chess press in two ways, which are referred to in the text as the “Steinitz narrative” and the “de Coubertin narrative”. Both of these perspectives have remained resilient to this day, accompanying the progress in equalizing the position of men and wom...
