Chess cant make you happy. The only thing that can make you happy is yourself. Chess is great fun though, whether you lose or win doesnt matter.
Does Chess Make U Happy?

Chess doesn't make U happy.... it only makes your X happy... and I don't know Y.. Maybe I might find out in my dreams.... Zzzzz
I would say chess makes me happy when i am mentally exercised/challenged by a polite opponent of equal skill, who can help you improve.
So now i have written it out, self improvement is what makes me happy in chess.

For players who learned chess at age 9 or younger, playing the game makes them feel young kids again. Especially if you find a brilliant combination. Eureka!

Chess is a great game and hobby. And makes players happy after a bad day at work, business... especially when your wins outscore the losses 😊 What if you lost more? Does the game still make you happy? Or make your unhappy life even more unhappy? Thoughts, anyone.


Chess is capable of bringing someone pleasure, but happiness lies within.
I'm sure addicts feel their addiction brings them pleasure, but i can assure you they aren't happy.

I have different hobbies like reading, solving different puzzle games, and other Solitary activities. Solitary games can be boring. Chess is a.nice social game and challenging too. To win more and lose less, one got to study. And makes playing chess a happy hobby.

Addicts are terribly sick to understand how bad addiction is. Rehabilitation is their only hope.

And you have to look at what video game it is. Strategic games that require you to think and plan ahead can be compared to chess. For example, a VR game by the name of SUPERHOT gives you a game where the enemies only move when you move, giving you time to think of a way to defeat them. Along with weapons and gadgets, it can be seen sort of like a chess board because you are in a room with other characters that can seen as "pieces". You need to calculate your moves, kill the enemy, and win the game.

Video games come and go. The hottest video game is popular only for a year or two. This makes chess different. It has timeless appeal. And those who believe chess won't be around forever, are mistaken.

But I believe the variety of video games, and how you play them, gives them a slight advantage.

Amen to that!
Angry Birds was a thing. Then it was Mine Craft....and now its Fortnite.. In chess it was the Berlin Defense...then that changed. People will make fun of a certain hair style, or clothes, until there "idol" gets it, and then suddenly! Its cool. People are lemmings.

It really has to interest me if it's going to get me to like it.
