Sensibly enough,you could suggest that chess requires of a disciplined or even meditative mind from the its practisioners...On the other hand,not a few players throughout history,have wandered if chess is a healthy habit at all!Grandmasters Sosonko and Short,as well as Mr Hoffman,are three popular chess writers who faced straighforward the old problem about the relationship between chess,chessplayers and the (sound) Mind!So to speak,i hardly remember the Guardian article of Nigel Short entitled ''The Ludgin Defence''...If you get it then ,please post a link!As for Hoffman now, i have read his interview on the subject but not the book,while Sosonko's treatment of the problem is totally unknown to me...What's your perspective on the forementioned issues so to speak?
