"You sit at the board and suddenly your heart leaps. Your hand trembles to pick up the piece and move it. But what chess teaches you is that you must sit there calmly and think about whether it is a good idea and whether there are other, better ideas." -Stanley Kubrick

"We face in our modern, splintered world not only a crisis in education, but more pointedly a crisis of understanding - of thought and of willingness to engage in thought. Thinking tools, like chess, help our minds expand, grow comfortable with abstraction and learn to navigate complex systems."
-"The Immortal Game" by David Shenk
