Leontxo García in conversation with Gabriel Ñaña
Chess and writing
Venue: Universidad Continental
Leontxo García (Spain) trains in educational chess and has experience in over 30 countries. He has spoken publicly about the educational, social and therapeutic applications of chess (with regard to brain aging and Alzheimer’s), as well as about the history of the game and its champions (he has met every world champion since Botvinnik). This Member for Educational Chess of the International Chess Federation has been a journalist since 1983. He will offer us a fascinating look at the educational potential of chess, particularly among children, linking it to the most common school subjects. He will talk to Gabriel Ñaña.
