Abstract:	Chess is considered by common sense a powerful tool to develop concentration, patience and perseverance, as well as creativity, reasoning, intuition, memory etc. However, many put a risk to these benefits, due to the lack of empirical support and serious methodological problems of previous studies. Amid this crossfire, this study aimed to evaluate if the practice of chess influences the development of reasoning in children. We randomly selected 36 subjects aged between 7 and 8 years of a rural public school in Distrito Federal. The selected subjects were divided into three groups of 12 subjects each. The experimental group (GEX) attended two chess lessons per week, lasting one hour each, while the control group 1 (GC1) attended tutoring classes and the control group 2 (GC2) received no intervention. Subjects were evaluated before and after the intervention through the Nonverbal Test of Child Reasoning (Pasquali, 2005), aiming to confirm or reject the hypothesis that the GEX will get greater gains than the GC1 and GC2. We tried to also check if the chess expertise influences the levels of reasoning, using as parameter the score in a championship held at the end of the study. Finally, we sought to determine whether there are significant differences between male and female. Regarding the differences between the sexes, the data collected demonstrated, adopting a 5% significance level, that girls got significant gain between pre and post-test (p <0.0213). Not so among boys (p <0.0747). Regarding chess performance, it was possible to infer that there was no correlation between the data obtained as the value found in the Pearson correlation (r) was +0.1753. As to the scores obtained in TNVRI, individuals who attended chess classes obtained higher gains in General Factor when compared to individuals who attended remedial classes and individuals who did not undergo extra intervention. Average increase in GEX group was 7.67 points. Already in GC1 and GC2 groups was 3.33 and 2.08, respectively. We can see that the GEX obtained a gain higher than the GC1 and GC2. However, adopting the significance level of 5% was possible to state that the gains obtained in the pre and post-test, the three groups were statistically similar (p <0.129). That is, even if the GEX has shown a trend of higher gains to others, the data were not sufficient to statistically prove the earnings difference between the three groups.
