maybe it depends on the game , heres one i find fun and it gets me in the mood to unleash fire on the board
Do strategy games help you in Chess?

So, do games like Clash Royale, card games, etc. that involve strategy help you at chess? Cause people are always yelling at me to stop playing Clash Royale, and if I find out CR helps my chess, then I might have found the biggest discovery for me. Ever. I need help. Tell me. Please.
Hi dear friend. You can download a life(ransomware i meant) from the piratebay.com. Hope this helps. Stay strong.

I'm sure playing CR will help to some extent. But it most likely won't make you into a chess expert.

But chess does help with Clash Royale
I won the 20 wins challenge and currently 5.2k cups
Thinking ahead, predictions, time pressure all help a lot
Only chess similar board games improve chess skills. Chinese chess and what else?
