CHESS AS EXERCISE

Chess is great exercise. There may not be any head smashing, helmet scarring football tackles or exotic tumbles on a gymnastic mat. Rather the players exercise their minds.

The mind, like the body, will deplete if left unused too long. Also like the body, it will get stronger if used in a constructive fashion. A game of logic, Chess exercises the mind by requiring players to think logically. Players are forced to think ahead and to analyze complex individual, yet interdependent factors. It has been said that Chess is a good way to learn about life. A person with the facility to win at Chess is ready to conquer any complex problem on either a personal or business level.
