I am curious why you connected this to child poverty.
Are there things that you wish poor children had less of, with more stressors from poverty?

presumably it's because the stressors of poverty forces one to think in the short-term, while Chess incentivizes long-term strategy.
If you learn not to take a pawn because 5 moves later you'll lose a bishop, maybe you won't take on credit card debt when 5 months later you owe 10% more in interest.
lol credit cards that's a million privilege steps ahead most children in the world do not have two hours to spend on their own education much less chess they work etc
