Talk:Chess as mental training

Better?
To me, it seems that this article would be better off on the main Chess page. Ground 22:46, 12 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I think it is too long to be merged into chess - that article is pretty long now. I think it could be mentioned in chess and linked here.  I also think this article needs improvement.  Bubba73 (talk), 02:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've looked at it again, and I oppose merge. It could be mentioned in chess or listed under "see also".  Bubba73 (talk), 05:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I oppose the merge with chess and agree with Bubba73 ChessCreator (talk) 15:12, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it should be merged with Chess. Even though it is a long article, it is a big topic, and this article fits right in and doesn't have enough information for a whole new topic. Freenaulij 03:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose merge - If this is genuinely a unique research topic of it's own, keep it separate. Article needs more work, though, and perhaps a more wikiful name, like Chess in Education, or Chess and cognition, or something.. Perhaps the names of the top research papers on the subject should be evaluated to pick a better article name.. - Eric 07:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

A motion on consensus against the merge
The merge tag (Chess as mental training into Chess) has been on this article since April, I believe. There seems to be little or no support for this merge, either here or there. I propose we remove the merge tag and take up other proposals: improve, rename, delete, etc. Anyone disagree? Hult041956 (talk) 17:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Tony Buzan on mental training
Was expecting to read in this article about Tony Buzan whom I understand recommends chess as a mental training. I hope someone with knowledge of the subject can add info in the future. A websearch didn't find much info but there is some here http://www.happychild.org.uk/acc/tpr/bkr/0899geni.htm http://www.msoworld.com/brain/mental/brainchat_buzan.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChessCreator (talk • contribs) 15:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
