Profitability to be elected headquarters

Significance and the profitability to be elected city the headquarters of a sports mega event as World Chess Championship San Luis 2005 results from a lot of political, social and cultural transcendence. The nomination of a city like headquarters of a global sporting event as is World Chess Championship San Luis 2005 has for her important political, consequences cheap to run, technological, but also cultural.

For the cities, being headquarters represents the historic opportunity of launching, renewal, promotional for the country and the organizational city. A set of influences moves through World Chess Championship San Luis 2005: Investment expenses and consumption, increase of the occupation (effects cheap to run), the bigger attraction of the region and the increase of hotel plazas (tourist effects), improvement in the infrastructure in general and in the sports infrastructure (infrastructure), the bigger evaluation of the population of experiences correlated to sports and to the free time, the fomentation of cultural moral values and traditions (social and cultural effects), and the increase of the local identity (psychological effects).

Cities the headquarterses get advantages from image and worldwide consideration, but besides, and thanks to the sale of duties of television and to the commercialization of symbols, still they can obtain additional benefits with them that to finance new infrastructures.

The midways of communication play a double role in mega events. On the one hand, when they buy the rights of retransmission are important financing of sports and constitute a pulley of transmission through which publicity contents are transmitted to various audiences.

In order to achieve the triumph in a departure the chess player is compelled to analyze situations himself, to calculate the plays, to evaluate the resulting questions and answers. He is in this mode, combining elements of action diverse on determined spaces to achieve a partial objective (getting an advantage) or total (the checkmate).

There is an only manner to do it: Reasoning with, thinking about, the little boy does it, playing with all spontaneity. The desire to win carries it to concentrate more and more in behind of triumph, that results in a mental exercise that will improve his attention, concentration and intellectual capacities, disciplining his will and his conduct.

The pupil goes learning to crosswise of his departures, to control his impulses, to discipline his conduct, to prevail to a partial trip, to trust in a precise reasoning, to respect his companion in a game where the chance does not intervene and the trap is out of place.

In order to be a game, the chess does not require additional motivation and acceptance for part of pupils is immediate. Rapidly the game is pounded home and shared with parents and close relatives, strengthening the family ties.

Practice within the course and the realization of tournaments at the school, inter-school competitions for teams and individual, he contributes to the social interaction of the all-comers that enjoy a leisure.
