No, playing chess does not help in academics.

However, many chess players are academics
and many academics play chess.

Chess playing skill and academic skill are related.

If you want to get better at physics problems,
then solve physics problems rather than play chess.

I believe chess can help with your academic studies.

Playing chess can have several benefits for academic performance, as it can improve cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and concentration. Here are some ways playing chess can help in academics:

Improved problem-solving skills: Chess involves analyzing multiple moves and their consequences, which can enhance problem-solving skills. This can be applied to academic subjects such as math, science, and even essay writing.

Enhanced critical thinking: Chess requires players to evaluate different options and consider multiple outcomes. This skill can be applied to academic subjects such as history, social studies, and literature.

Improved concentration: Chess requires intense concentration and focus, which can help students develop their ability to stay focused and avoid distractions during academic work.

Increased creativity: Chess can also encourage creativity as it requires players to think outside of the box and come up with unique solutions to complex problems. This can be useful in subjects that require creativity, such as art and creative writing.

Overall, playing chess can be a fun and engaging way to develop cognitive skills that can benefit academic performance.
