Designing a Short Term Endgame Training System to Enhance Decision Making Speed for Chess Players
Keywords:
endgame exercises, decision making speed, chess club students, Hanoi Pedagogical University 2Abstract
By employing established scientific methods in sports science, this study devised six clusters of exercises aimed at developing comprehensive endgame calculation skills, alongside three evaluative tests, for members of the Chess Club at Hanoi Pedagogical University 2. A pedagogical experiment demonstrated marked improvements in students’ calculation proficiency and cognitive processing speed. These findings confirm the efficacy of the prescribed exercises in strengthening endgame calculation ability and decision making competence, thereby contributing to the overall quality of chess performance among the club’s student participants.
