Abstract

This research is a bibliographic review with the objective of analyzing the effects and the applicability of a program of teaching chess to pupils, focused on improving academic performance in the field of mathematics. Based on the research topic and the established selection criteria, a literature search was carried out in several digital platforms, such as E-book, Scopus, Google Academic and Mendeley. Ten scientific articles were found that met the following conditions: being applied to pupils up to 15 years old, being experimental, being a program of teaching chess in an educational setting, being within the quartiles of the scientific influence of the Scimago framework and being related to our research topic. After analyzing each of the ten articles individually and comparing them collectively, the studies agree that a program of teaching chess to pupils brings multiple benefits. Furthermore, the studies show that these benefits were not limited to mathematics, but that these benefits were also found in other areas, such as intellectual, emotional and social, which confirms the feasibility of the application of a chess-teaching program in the educational field
