This article defines the chess impact on the formulation and development of thinking. Children’s thinking development is taken into consideration though the chess tasks and resolution of the problems with one and two moves. We consider the understanding scheme of problem solving though the simple chess tasks’ discussion. We consider the mate creation by the Queen and Knight, in order to solve the problem. The possible move of the piece is pointed to show the mate. The task’s solution is simplified through the analysis. To understand the solution of the mate problem in two moves, once again we applied schematic thinking.
