Could a humble board game improve school performance, play a role in driving Australia's economy and even help prisoners in rehab?
That is the question being investigated by economist and former Liberal advisor John Adams, who is heading a push to make chess a part of the national curriculum.
Mr Adams has previously worked as an economics advisor to Liberal Senator Arthur Sinodinos.
