Children use a "chess dice" during a lesson at the Dezso Lemhenyi school, which uses the new "Chess Palace" teaching programme of the world's best female chess player Judit Polgar, in Budapest October 15, 2013. With names like Jumpy Horse, Boom Rook and Tiny Pawn, pieces in the Chess Palace come to life and are like close friends who guide the children through difficult school subjects. They range in size from 1 cm (under half an inch) tall to a meter (three feet) in height. Chairs, walls and carpets also sport chess motifs. The pieces, whose combinations and moves represent mathematical, linguistic or musical patterns, help children develop their skills in chess and in their school studies while making the learning process a more joyous exercise.
