This wooden chess and draught set can be a valuable tool for educational purposes, as it can help teach critical thinking, strategy, and problem-solving skills.

The game of chess, in particular, has long been recognized for its ability to improve cognitive function, memory, and concentration. Playing chess requires players to think ahead, anticipate their opponent's moves, and plan their own strategy accordingly.

Draughts, also known as checkers, is a simpler game that can also help develop strategic thinking skills. It requires players to plan and execute moves to capture their opponent's pieces while protecting their own.

This set can be a valuable addition to any educational environment, providing both entertainment and opportunities for skill development.
