Think first or make a plan before you do certain things. To put it simply: Think before you click. In the long run, experience improves your perception and/or intuition.
Logical thinking, fast thinking, self evaluation, and the need for sportsmanship.
Not Bobby Fisher approved but still
I think the most important thing it teaches is to be able to analyze and adapt to sudden changes. Life is always going to try and screw you over but you have to be able to analyze and be aware of how your actions will have consequences and how to take advantage of positive consequences or minimize the damage from negative consequences.
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
explain why not
chess can teach you more than only playing chess

It teaches me that sometimes people are poor losers, can't accept defeat and will constantly make excuses as to why things did not go their way.
Other times you meet people who will congratulate you for being a better player, or taking advantage of opportunities that arise.
In life, like in chess, at the beginning all the roads are open to you, but at the end only one road remains.
Chess teaches you that members of a religious order are more dangerous then trained soldiers and that fortresses move faster than knights (yes it's because of elephants, that were then changed to castles, but are elephants twice as fast as horses?)

Why not? Bishops are more effective then pawns and rooks move further the knights?

This doesn't teach us anything
It does. It might not teach you anything usefull or correct, but it does teach you what I had concluded beforehand. Yes it's incorrect but it's the logical conclusion.

Chess teaches that there is no justice.
But it also teaches that we must take responsibility for our actions, there are usually many different ways to interpret the same position, and it's possible to create art even in a seemingly barren and hopeless position.

Perhaps it is not chess that teaches but we who learn and mileage varies from person to person
The idea that there is no justice is unfortunate but not always true. After a few hours of chess and then venturing out into society, I am irrationally suspicious of everyone I encounter? That Wal-Mart Santa soliciting spare change. Whatever, I know a nihilistic bishop when I see one.
