Abstract
Chess is considered as a cognitive game because of severe engagement of the mental resources during playing. The purpose of this study is evaluation of frontal lobe function of chess players with matched non-players. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) data showed no difference between the player and non-player groups in preservation error and completed categories but surprisingly showed significantly lower grade of the player group in correct response. Our data reveal that chess players donʹt have any preference in any stage of Stroop test. Chess players donʹt have any preference in selective attention, inhibition and executive cognitive function. Chess playersʹ have lower shifting abilities than non-players.
