Function 
 
The purpose of my product is to develop critical thinking skills, in my end user Anna,
because once acquired it is the dominant general thinking skill. A board game of chess
and backgammon both practical forms of practice for development of critical thinking
because they require rational thinking, forming logical connections, identification of

throughout the game. 
Specifically question what 
steps they took into 
furthering their position into

analyze what sub­category 
of critical thinking skills it 
required from them to make 
those moves.
