Teachers call for chess as a mindsport

[JMcNicoll]

An article buried in a newspaper I read has the Association of Teachers and Lecturers annual conference calling for chess to be classed as a mindsport and schools given funding to teach it.

It goes on to say that the game is "cheap and easy" and urge the government to create a fund for the promotion of such mindsports.

Don't know about the easy bit but certainly cheap.
