Greetings from the Councillor for Sport of Nepi Dr Federica De Paolis
I greet the young athletes from Nepes and the entire region of Lazio who will participate in the upcoming under-18 regional youth chess championship.
The game of chess is the sport of the mind par excellence, and the positive aspects of playing this game are many and well-known.
Under the cognitive aspect: the strengthening of reflection, analysis, memorisation and predictive calculation skills. Under the educational aspect: the aptitude to respect rules, opponents and to carefully evaluate the consequences of one's choices. Our young chess players are increasingly numerous and, thanks also to the efforts of federal instructors who are prepared and trained in the didactics of this sport, are successfully competing in the various regional and national championships recognised by the federation. This gives us prestige and visibility
The very fact that this important championship has been entrusted by the national federation to the care of the 'Alfieri della Tuscia' is an acknowledgement of our club's skills and commitment to the promotion and dissemination of this noble sport.
In my role, I testify to the will of the citizenship to support your good work. Good game to all
