I don't. I just play chess because I suck at other sports.

Many play chess because they play other games too.tongue.png

I wonder if it's because Chess activates all brain regions. Mental satisfaction

It flexes mental prowess instead of physical prowess.

why do you think people like chess?

Dear all, let me answer this question. In my opinion, it is about the text that has been written in my motto - profile.

The most brilliant way to improve the brain that I know is chess. Chess is the most effective game for our improvement in many areas. Additionally, chess helps us to understand destiny or we can say the future because if we move with a piece in the game of chess we cannot change it and we cannot put it back. We have to continue. It is like real life. Everything that has been done cannot be changed or put back.

I enjoy playing because losing isn’s bad. I prefere to win of course but if you lose you can still learn from it.

chess sounds like cheese. Cheese is yummy. Sometimes people say something is good instead of something being yummy. People like things that are good. That is why people like chess, because it is a thing that is good.

Reason 1: Chess is a high value activity. It requires focus, strategy, tracking multiple potential outcomes, and is a skill with a high ceiling. Reason 2: Every chess game is different. You will never play the same game twice. Each opponent will move with their personality and you will have to respond. Like a conversation, each new word changes the direction. Each new move creates new potential, new responses, new blunders. PLEASE SEND ME FRIEND REQUEST, I JUTS WANT TO GET CONNECTED WITH MORE AND MORE CHESS LOVERS ACROSS THE WORLD.

Because it's easy enough for a beginner to enjoy, difficult enough that it can't be mastered, and between those two extremes is a gradual, demonstrable, continuum of performance that a player can advance along via work.

So it's challenging enough to provide endless problems but simple enough that it can be enjoyed as a hobby.

Easy to play with near infinitely high skill ceiling, very rewarding to improve and there's always something to learn. It's a game that stays relevant forever unlike other things that go out of fashion. 

It's a timeless masterpiece of a game that doesn't rely on modern graphics, culture or anything else but it's own beauty and complexity to stay relevant.
