The 100 Meter and 200 Meter world sprinting champion Usain Bolt plays chess!! Do you think it's to past time and relax or to give him more mental strength on the tracking field?

No I disagree, I thin Usain wouldn't play checkers to bring on his mental strength.

From the position of the pieces in Usain's picture you can see he's not playing chess, but checkers with chess pieces. Agree?
Yes! A lot of Champions of there sports do tend to have a link with chess. I kind of see the mental thinking behind becoming a champion, it starts from deep within the mind & visualization!
