Chess is more suitable for children to benefit from throughout their lives

1. Chess has three endings: "win, lose, and draw", and drawing is an art (best outcome or the highest level). Go is basically a game of either losing or winning, which is quite cruel.

2. Comparison between the two

1. The advantages of chess: extremely high degree of internationalization: more than one billion people around the world play it, and it is respected by all countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and North America. "Intellectual gymnastics." Go is not popular in Europe and the United States, mainly due to cultural background issues. Even if Gu Li wins ten games in a row against Lee Sedol, it will not become sports news in Europe and the United States; however, after two Jiangsu girls Hou Yifan (Taizhou Xinghua) and Ruan Lufei (Nanjing) competed for the women's chess world championship, the 16-year-old girl won the title of queen of chess. Hou Yifan has been extensively reported by the New York Times, and Bill Gates also came out to praise her. There is a famous saying: chess is the gymnastics of human wisdom. Bill Gates must have admired Hou Yifan for having a higher IQ than him, and was envious and jealous of him. The three-dimensional chess pieces are vivid and easy to attract children's interest.

2. The advantages of Go: it is unpredictable and ever-changing, it requires high calculations and it also trains abstract thinking. In addition, the popularity of Go is high, there are many parents who like Go, and it has a certain international character - it is popular in China, Japan and South Korea, and is also relatively popular in Taiwan. Disadvantages of Go: It is relatively abstract, difficult for young children to get started, and training and competitions are time-consuming and physically demanding. The degree of internationalization is not high and is limited to the three East Asian countries of China, Japan and South Korea (including Taiwan).
