Albert Frank (†)

It was nearly 40 years ago that Albert Frank, with the help of Dr. Max Euwe, undertook a study on the psychopedagogy of chess at a high school in Kisangani (Zaïre). The question was if learning chess has a positive influence on the development of numerical and verbal aptitudes, Albert Frank has recorded the results of his research in his book from 1978. You can read a summary online, and meanwhile the book is also available as an electronic edition, see for that www.lulu.com/product/ebook/....
