In sport of mind, competitions are related to abstract game activities, which include chess, checkers, go, sports bridge, sports poker, backgammon, etc. Based on the use of the method of scientific knowledge, the specificity of the intellectual training of intellectual-athletes, which is a priority aspect of the training process, is determined. The system of training intellectual-athletes is carried out both from general pedagogical positions and from the process of applied and specialized training and upbringing. Training in such sports consists in the orientation of the training process on: formation of cognitive, creative, practical, communicative and social competences; the implementation of specific principles of the organization of educational and cognitive activities, such as the strength of knowledge assimilation, the connection between theory and practice, emotional and problem-based learning, thoroughness, cyclical development, modeling, computerization and self-management – sports training acquires a new systematic quality training; the use of specific training tools and methods used in solving intellectual training tasks. The intellectual training of an athlete is aimed at the understanding of sports activities and the development of intellectual abilities, without which it is impossible to solve the tasks of sports training in intellectual sports. This training is directly related to the formation of the athlete's motivation, his volitional and special mental training, training in sports technique and tactics, improvement of sportsmanship. Intellectual training is determined by two main aspects: intellectual education and education of intellectual abilities. Intellectual education is related to the transfer of knowledge, and is therefore considered as part of theoretical training.
