Like many, I was inspired early on by Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games column, which included "included a mixture of puzzles, silliness, curious/useless math, and quite serious (but not overly technical) math. In that spirit, I list here some web resources for recreational math. David Epstein " http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/recmath.html :Mathematics and Chess Page Chess teaches many things, including strategic thinking. Though one might think at first that this type of thinking is unrelated to mathematics, in fact, chess also teaches a type of "calculation" (see Soltis's book [4] for the exact idea). To anyone who thinks doing mathematics and playing chess are unrelated, this page is for you.
