In fact, some of the teachers did not know the rules of the game when they began to teach Chess.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1402\" src=\"https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-2.png 375w, https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-2-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-2-320x427.png 320w, https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-2-300x400.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, with the aid of the lessons on LearningChess.net website, the teachers have had the desire to learn the rules and how to play the game as well just like the students. Many teachers say that the hints on each lesson helps them to follow the rules before teaching them to the students. In addition, the multiple-choice questions allow the students to go into a discussion and take decisions on the correct moves of the Chess pieces before they start to play a game.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1403\" src=\"https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-4.png 600w, https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-4-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/learningchess.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chess-in-Schools-in-GIS-Mal\u00e9-Maldives-with-LearningChess.net-4-320x241.png 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The teachers teaching Chess have used the lesson options mostly in the classroom and have used the hints to learn the rules of the game.
