Debates provide experiences that are conducive to life-changing, cognitive, and presentational skills. In addition, through debate debaters acquire unique educational benefits as they learn and polish skills far beyond what can be learnt in any other setting.
At the very least, debate helps learners to see the power of deploying rational, reasoned arguments and compelling evidence in action. It enables them to elucidate their standpoint through utilizing rhetorical eloquence. It instills in debaters a great sense of poise and confidence. It teaches them the skills of researching, organizing, and presenting information in a compelling fashion.
In general, the benefits of debate include:
- Gaining broad, multi-faceted knowledge cutting across several disciplines outside the learner's normal academic subjects.
- Increasing learners’ confidence, poise, and self-esteem.
- Providing an engaging, active, learner-centered activity.
- Improving rigorous higher order and critical thinking skills.
- Enhancing the ability to structure and organize thoughts.
- Enhancing learners’ analytical, research and note-taking kills
- Improving learners’ ability to form balanced, informed arguments and to use reasoning and evidence.
- Developing effective speech composition and delivery.
- Encouraging teamwork.

Benefits of Debate - American Debate Leaguewww.americandebateleague.org › benefits-of-debate . Some simple evidence of the practicality of debating. Debating actually improves your creativity far more than chess does and will aid your confidence and speaking skills. By the very fact you are here and not on a chess website tells me that you would be happier debating. It is not a debate when the opposition does not believe what they are advocating.

As my 1st post said, chess prevents alzheimers and benefits your memory. It improves your iq.
40 million people play chess https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20031202005336/en/National-Chess-Survey-Reveals-Truth-Chess-People This is enough to say chess is more popular. More reasons on why our team have won are that chess is more mathematical thus improves you with your logical thinking, mathematics and cognitive ability. Maths is one of the most important and useful subjects. For instance at a shop you have a budget you have to add up the totals of what you are buying and getting your calculator out wastes lots of time. Chess helps with that calculating.
