The metacognitive strategies that are proposed have the objective of improving the concentration of chess attention, since the chess player, in his games, deploys a set of strategies oriented to certain goals in correspondence with which he acts, which expresses the conscious, purposeful and volunteer of his maneuvering on the board at its highest degree, integrating his individual subjectivity through his intentional, volitional and constructed performance. For the investigation, a group of methods of the empirical and statistical level were used, in the case of the latter, a battery of psychological measurements was applied, which allowed verifying the state of the problem under investigation. For the realization of metacognitive strategies, in its design, it is established that each moment must be planned in such a way that it allows the group to advance in the task, in pursuit of its objective, therefore, they are structured in: short-term goals and medium term at the conceptual level, short and medium term goals at the functional level, objective, content, duration time and means to control the task or the practical theoretical elements to be carried out in both actions. Therefore, its implementation constitutes a significant contribution to "learn to learn" about the essential practical theoretical elements in chess training, and in turn reflect on how the execution of the tasks went. For these reasons, it is recommended to implement improvement strategies for Chess coaches in the territory on the theme: metacognition.
