X3D TECHNOLOGIES DONATES TO THE U.S. CHESS TRUST
NEW WINDSOR, NY-X3D Technologies Corporation [www.x3dworld.com], the leading provider of Extreme 3D� hardware and software products and sponsor of the recent Man vs Machine chess match has donated 2,000 chess computer games valued at $100,000 to the United States Chess Trust. X3D supports the Trust�s mission and goals of providing chess education
for America!
The U.S. Chess Trust is the 501�3 charitable arm of the United States Chess Federation. Created in 1967 the Trust was organized to promote, stimulate and encourage the study and play of the game of chess as a means of intellectual development.
Chess is a wonderful game that can help children:
Develop mental disciplines
Develop analytical skills
Develop strategic thinking skills
Do better in school
Kids will spend time on chess because it�s a game and the education comes packaged as fun.
Research performed by various independent and academic groups consistently concludes that chess is a proven tool for developing these skills. A list of these studies can be viewed at www.uschess.org.
Its arm extends to every state in the nation providing educational tools to those of all ages. The trust provides:
free chess equipment to schools, hospitals and clubs
Full or partial chess scholarships
Free memberships to needy children
Training materials for teachers and coaches
Without donations we don�t exist. Thanks to the generosity of X3D, young people (especially the economically disadvantaged) will have the opportunity to play chess.
