A quasi-experimental research design was used, with pre-test and post-test measurements. Thirty female chess players from East Azarbaijan province were selected using convenience sampling. Participants completed the Happe Mind Theory Questionnaire (1994) and were randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which underwent 8 sessions of 45-minute mindfulness exercises, or a control group, which did not participate in any educational activities. Both groups completed the Happe Mind Theory Questionnaire (1994) again after the training sessions, and analysis of covariance was used to compare the groups at a significance level of p<0.05. The results indicated that mindfulness exercises had a positive and significant effect on theory of mind in adolescent female chess players. This study suggests that mindfulness training can enhance theory of mind and cognitive abilities in chess players.
