This nearly 4-year project included two cohorts of children (ages 8 to 11 years) participating in an after-school chess project for one academic year as well as data collected about 6- and 12-month follow up data. Participants completed an assessment battery during 5 timepoints spread across this 2-year period. The database collected through this project is large, with hundreds of children completing nearly 14,000 tasks. As this point we are releasing data with initial publications, but access to the database could be available upon request.
