<p>For the younger generation of Americans, chess has gone from a popular game of mental stimulation to an old board game gathering dust in the closet.  In the United States, chess has never gotten the recognition as an educational games as in other countries.  In fact, up to 30 countries around the world have integrated chess as part of their educational system.  These countries utilize the intellectual nature of the game in the education of the generation of the future, allowing children to play against each other to develop a love for learning, not competition.</p>
<p>AmericaChess.com understands the importance of chess in the classroom.  Too many children of today spend their free time watching the television or playing video games.  While television and video games may have educational aspects of their own, chess provides children with skills of problem solving, critical thinking, analytical thinking, and respect.  AmericaChess.com believes that all of these skills are important, and that promoting these skills in America&#8217;s children can be extremely beneficial to the future of our nation.</p>
<p>While other countries such as Russia have their culture engulfed in the game, the United States has failed to recognize chess as an extremely useful educational supplement that can also be considered a game.  This combination of entertainment and education is tough to find, as shown by the violent and mindless tendencies of popular entertainment today.  As a result, AmericaChess.com is aiming to increase the playing of chess games among the children, youth, and adults alike.</p>
<p>AmericaChess.com&#8217;s mission is not only to increase the amount of people playing chess in the United States, but also to improve the chess game of the millions of chess players already playing the game.  To do this, AmericaChess.com not only provides information and tips about playing the game of chess, but also provides an online chess server that allows children and adults alike to play against other chess players from around the world, at any given time.  This free online chess server gives players the opportunity to practice at anytime against a real opponent, instead of having to find partner to play with or playing against a computer program.  This practice then allows the chess players to improve their skill at the game, better understanding strategies and tactics commonly employed by other players.</p>
<p>For many youth in America, the game of chess has become a game of the past.  With efforts aimed at bringing chess back to the prominent educational game in the country, AmericaChess.com will provide tips and information about the game of chess and continue providing a free chess server where players of all ages and skill levels can play chess games free of cost.  However, until children decide themselves that they want to learn and improve their intelligence, much of the responsibility falls on the parents to encourage their children to play chess.  Doing so will allow their children to grow towards a successful life, bringing their learned skills of problem solving, critical and analytical thinking, respect for opponents, and healthy competition into the real world!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_20" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 490px"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.bronxbeat.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Chessboss.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-20" title="Chessboss.com" src="http://www.bronxbeat.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Chessboss-1024x634.jpg" alt="Chessboss.com" width="480" height="297" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chessboss.com</p></div>
<p>Chess is just like any other game, or any other sport for that matter.  It requires a large amount of practice and study to become one of the best, or at least to become an advanced player.  Like other sports, the game of chess requires repetition and muscle memory (or in the case of chess, mental memory) to be able to understand the game both fundamentally and way beyond.  Today&#8217;s game of chess, developing over hundreds of years of play by dozens of countries around the world, has become an advanced game requiring mental skills, likely extending far beyond the intent of the creator of the game.</p>
<p>Fortunately for chess players around the world, ChessBoss.com offers a free online chess server where players from any country and play against opponents at any time of their choosing.  That is, ChessBoss.com and its chess server can be utilized by a Chinese chess player playing a chess game at noon in China playing against a chess player from New York playing at midnight.  It is this convenience that draws many people to playing chess online.  However, there are many other reasons to consider playing on ChessBoss.com&#8217;s online chess server:</p>
<p>1.  Its Free!</p>
<p>ChessBoss.com&#8217;s online chess server is free of charge.  Some of the premiere online chess servers require their players to pay a membership fee to gain access.  ChessBoss.com provides all of the features that other chess servers offer, but allows people no matter how rich or poor to play against another human opponent at any given time.</p>
<p>2.  Practice and Repetition!</p>
<p>As mentioned earlier, practicing the game of the chess is the most effective way of improving a player&#8217;s skill level.  Along with the many different situations a player will see through repetition, he or she will also gain experience needed to build the knowledge base required to play at an advanced level.  Playing chess games on an online server allows a player to play chess non-stop, and against real opponents, not a computer program.</p>
<p>3.  Tournaments</p>
<p>In addition to offering free online chess, ChessBoss.com will also host a couple of tournaments every year.  These tournaments extend and opportunity to players to make money playing the game that they love.  Tournaments also improve a chess player&#8217;s game, as they are forced to play against a number of different players on their way to the top.</p>
<p>4.  Fair Competition</p>
<p>The competition in an online chess server is much more flexible than in person.  While children and adults in a chess club may find others of a similar skill level to play against, ChessBoss.com&#8217;s free online chess server has a ranking system, allowing players to play against opponents of a similar skill level.  They also have the choice to play against players of higher level, to improve their chess game.</p>
<p>In addition to providing all of the benefits of an online chess server, ChessBoss.com also acts as an informational resource, offering informational articles about chess game strategy and different types of chess games, to name a few.  For people interested in the game of chess, ChessBoss.com acts as a one-stop shop for information about chess games and free chess played online.</p>
