		With these or similar hopes, chess was taught to children in schools around the world throughout chess history as well as in the schools today and used in armies to train minds of cadets and officers.
		Moreover, chess is often depicted in the arts, used for example as a metaphor of a struggle of two, as a symbol of cold logic, or - in the spirit of mediaeval moralists - as an allegory of society's life.
