Mentees are not necessarily always ready to talk about their difficulties, and  share feelings.  But, when they are playing chess, rapport is established in a non-threatening way.
Once involved in the game, the pieces become ”concrete manipulatives”  with which mentees can discuss their problems with their mentors and find alternatives and/or solutions.

Life Skills  Trough Chess ,[object Object]
A variety of specific chess positions correlated to social situations will be presented in my presentation called : “Teaching Life Skills Through Chess”.
Conflict resolution/fight   It is White’s turn to move. The Black pawn just moved    forward. What would you do? If the white pawn moves forward, nobody can stop it. It will be  promoted to a Queen and later the  black King will be checkmated. But, if white captures black ,  the other black pawn will capture white  and nobody will win. It will be a  draw. Advice for Life : When somebody challenges you, bothers you  or steps into your space, your first reaction may be to bother or fight them back. Is it the best decision? It might be best to think before you move, focus on your goal and move away from trouble. Fighting does not solve anything, nobody wins
