An Analysis of Scientific Studies Examining The Relationship Between Chess And Geometry (Descriptıve Analysis)

Abstract

Chess is a game with a complex set of rules that depends on the rules system being reflected on the board, predicted, and used creatively during the game. Due to its complexity and problem-solving nature, chess is also offered as an elective course in basic education to provide children with cognitive and mental gains. Given this situation, examining studies on chess and mathematics education will provide us with information about the form and structure of chess education. This study seeks to answer the question of what kind of trend exists in the literature regarding the relationship between chess and mathematics. In this context, previous studies on chess and mathematics education were reviewed, and a pool of 19 publications was created, consisting of 9 articles, 9 graduate theses, and 1 conference paper.
