Post Chess to become compulsory in Armenia
What do people think of this?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13140772

There are some interesting pros and cons. Some people dislike making it compolsory, thinking that it will take the joy out of the game. That said, psychical education is compulsory and kids love that...

Overall I'm really for it. In today's flash bang culture I think it's really important for kids to have something which requires real concentration but which can also be fun and creative.

Why restrict it to school children? I think we should make everyone do it. There are all manner of people that would benefit! :D
