This article describes the executive performance status of a sample of high school students enrolled in an official educational institution in Bogota, Colombia, regarding working memory, inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, planning, and metacognition. For this purpose, methodologically, tasks were developed in a neuropsychological battery of executive functions (Banfe-2) with 76 students, by groups (cases and control); then a training program in chess was carried out with the group of cases and the post-test was performed with the two groups; and then the comparison was made at the time of starting the experiment (pre-test) and at the time of ending the experiment (post-test). The findings of the coefficient of variation in the Banfe indicate great cognitive variability in favor of the case group. The conclusion is that chess practice can be associated with better executive performance.
