Resumo: This study aims to do a diagnostic about the possible effect that the practice of chess can have on the performance in Math of students from 8º and 9º year of Fundamental Level. More clearly, we intent to investigate the relation of cause and effect among the practice of chess and the ability of solving mathematics problems. As specific goal, we suggest yet to investigate: a) the strategies which students who play chess use to solve the problems and if these strategies differentiate themselves of those which students who don t play chess; b) how much from the chess strategies appear in the mathematic solution of questions. What concerns about the strategies, we try to observe how a student who is a chess player develops, expresses himself, articulates and, also, how he registers mathematics procedures in every proposed question. Our theoretical fundamentation grounds on the study of play in the development of individual on the vision of Piaget and his classification for the term play and sharing that same theory, we will bring the constructivist perspective of play in the scholar environment on the optic of Lino de Macedo. The methodology is a descriptive study and the diagnostic tool is a test with eight mathematics problems, which are based on the four axis of contents, that were selected from Brazilian Mathematic Olympiad of Public Schools (BMOPS) from 2005 to 2010 and from the Teach and Learn Project (2001). It was part of our research 22 students, whom formed two groups of 11 students: the group of students who plays chess (Gpc), they play chess more than a year in the Sportive Curricular Activities and the group of students who doesn t play chess (Gnc).From those 11 students, as from the Gpc as from the Gnc were selected 5 students from 9º year and 6 students from 8º year, all of them study at the same school. The study s results were investigated under two analysis: the quantitative, that were realized in the comparison between both groups and the qualitative, that were realized in the interpretation of the solution s strategies used for both groups, and then, verify whether these strategies differ or not. After the results analysis we conclude that exit strong indicatives that the chess play, in our study s universe, contributes to the solution of mathematics problems, that is, the chess player students strategies, in this case, were more efficient than those from the students who don t play chess
