The Educational Chess collection was created with the aim of supporting the training of teachers and instructors who teach educational chess, offering tools that enhance preparation, creativity, and innovation in school chess lessons.

These books provide a solid theoretical and methodological foundation for understanding the relationship between chess and other educational areas, while also offering practical resources for direct classroom application. For this reason, they should form part of school libraries and chess clubs that implement chess as an educational and formative resource.

Initially, the collection consists of nine books, although further volumes are planned for the future. The publication of the first volume, The Transversalities of Chess, created the need to explore each transversal aspect of the game in greater depth, giving rise to most of the subsequent titles.

Most of the books are structured into three main sections:

• A theoretical section, which establishes the relationship between chess and the transversal theme addressed.

• A didactic resources section, which compiles materials, activities, and strategies related to the book’s topic.

• An implementation section, with proposals for activities or practical units based on educational chess.

These books provide a variety of resources to support the design of activities for the projects Educational Pre-Chess, Play and Learn, and Chess for Everybody. Some volumes also include new types of activities featuring transfer triggers, aimed at enhancing competency-based learning.

Finally, the collection forms the foundation for future online training courses in the didactics of educational chess

.

The transversality applied from chess in school can generate a multitude of innovative, useful and motivating projects to contribute to an integral education adapted to the XXI century.

Chess is a great pedagogical tool because, as a center of interest, it facilitates the design of transversal activities, and, as a game, encourages the use of gamification in the classroom.

The book breaks down the relationship of the game of chess with each of the following areas of learning: mathematics, linguistics, social, plastic, musical, dynamics and education in values.

Based on these relationships, proposals, ideas, resources and a wide range of suggestions are presented for teachers to generate, design and implement transversal activities in the compulsory educational stages (infant, primary and secondary). In addition, the creativity of teachers and students is encouraged.

Also the contents of this book can be used in educational centers for the learning of curricular subjects in a more enjoyable and fun way.

Chess is a great educational resource because, as a center of interest, it facilitates the design of transversal activities and, as a game, encourages the implementation of gamification in the classroom.
With this book we intend to contribute to the training of teachers in the use of elements of games in the educational field and, especially, improve the learning of educational chess. It is not about gamifying the game of chess but the way to teach it.
In the first block, the theoretical foundations of gamification and how to apply it in the educational world as an active methodology are exposed.
In the second block of the book, Ajedreteca, 101 hobbies, chess games and alternative games for learning educational chess (ABJ, game-based learning) are collected and classified.
And in the third block, four different gamified proposals are presented: a game of the Ajedreteca, a unit, a project and a virtual training course.
Thus, with all these examples, teachers will be able to generate other gamified proposals and design other games related to chess.

Chess is a great educational resource because, as a center of interest, it facilitates the design of transversal activities, and, as a game, encourages the use of gamification in the classroom. This book delves into the dynamic transversality based on body and kinesthetic intelligence, which was already introduced in the first book in this collection. Teachers will find a multitude of games, exercises and activities related to chess to work on the motor skills of students in the compulsory educational stages (infant, primary and secondary). With this approach it is also possible to learn the game of chess from the subject of physical education in a dynamic, transversal and fun way. The last part of the book reformulates the game of Xecball under two complementary approaches: educational and sports. In the first one, a series of motor didactic sessions are presented to be worked from the subject of physical education.
