Magnus Carlsen has done a great job by winning three World Chess Championships on the trot at the mere age of 26. A study shows how four months of chess instruction significantly raised the IQ scores of 4000 Venezuelan students, comprising of both boys and girls. 
Our children should be advised to play chess instead of cruel and violent virtual games that can turn impressionable minds into trigger-maniac brutes. It will increase their IQ, critical thinking, power of imagination and concentration.
