why do you like chess

i like it because it helps you thinks 

same and it is fun.

Fun educational makes you smarter.

Because it is fun and allows a way to apply logic and critical thinking within a 64-square board. 

Also allowing you to take risks without them being costly to you (except by losing but that's the best way to improve!)

And I just love chess

Chess is a completely useless skill. I like being able to beat people who have never really played but think they are good.
