Chess is the practical concrete application of an abstract field of mathematics known as Game Theory.
Our instinct for survival drives us to want to control our environment. Chess is just complicated enough to challenge our instinct to control. It provides us with a temporary illusion of control.
Chess is Siege Warfare in game form.

In that way chess can be considered a philosophical experiment from a unique perspective.
A perspective of the theoretical basis of time. space, and matter in a finite environment.

We'd certainly get more done without it. But considering much of what we do, the whole world is probably better off with us diverted playing chess.
