I hate when that happens. So annoying.

A study by Walter Mischel in the 70s tested 4 year-olds to see whether they preferred one cookie now or two in 15 minutes.

This is the part that is improved by in-depth thought and reasoning - for which chess is a great exercise. So really we should be in better mental health than non-players.
Physically though - we're stuffed!
