Chess taught me to be less impulsive, to think more before doing tjings and making desions, analyse the consequences.
Does chess make you a better person?

And help you invent new comparative terms
I think a lot of crafts, arts, skills e.t.c have a lot of crossover if you learn 1 thing very well you can apply the concepts to other things, like if someone was a composer and then decided to pick up writing he would have an advantage over an average person because he has already an understanding of phrasing, structure, harmony e.t.c from music that can be used in writing as well. Also why a lot of good chess players are supposedly good at picking up poker.

Does chess makes you a better person? Idk but if we played with these, it would make us a stronger person.

I’m already perfect so this is a hard one to answer but generally no - moving pieces around a board when you could be doing someting useful has no self-improvement benefit

Could you beat GM Naka in Bat Chess variant? Resignation is considered Win.

If you keep on learning about Life like we keep on improving in chess, that would make you a better person.
Great contributions, my friends! This is really helpful.
Another reason I’m asking is because I’m teaching my 4 year old how to play. Every time I teach a principle I want to double it as a life lesson to make him a deeper thinker who makes better decisions **in general**.
Thanks for chiming in.
With this new context does anything else come to mind?

If your goal is to teach your child to concentrate on an issue including the consequences of an action, then certainly chess is useful. A "better" person? hum ... that is a bit vague.
Better late than never :😎
Chess does not make me a better person. Just a happy person. At the expense of my opponent frustration. Chess also makes me studious. After a frustrating loss I review my Openings mistakes, my middle game tactical mistakes and lastly my endgame mistakes. If I applied this to Life, I would be a successful person. But I did not. I repeat mistakes in Life as i don't bother to review my mistakes in Life.
Moral lesson from Chess. After victory, celebrate enjoy. After defeat, failure, contemplate... What did I do wrong? Instead of getting depressed, drunk.
