Yes
does chess make you happier?
Chess is not a game that generates peace. It's a continuous alternation of satisfaction and frustration for everyone who takes it seriously. The only way to fully enjoy it, is to make the game enjoyable for both players, like when I play with my mother or brother who don't know how to play: mostly I let them win or I force a draw, and we're all happy.

If a synonym for happier is crazier, then, YES, chess makes us all much more happier!
I rue the day i took up chess, frankly. However, like a Chinese finger trap, once in its impossible to get out of.
If you do something that doesn't give you any kind of pleasure, just don't do it. But like anything that's a challenge, there will be times when playing chess becomes frustrating. But it's the desire to improve that brings you joy, not the end in itself. If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth pursuing.
The answer is simply ✨NO✨
