why play chess


It does help ward off early onset Alzheimer's and senile dementia though. Of course that's true; I read it right here in the forums. Some of us are too old to get early onset anything though...sigh.

There is a kind of beauty about well played chess games though that genuinely appeals to the would be artist in all of us. Serious correspondence players ("Daily" in Erikspeak) try to create a perfect game each time they play.

Some of us in life favor using our brains, and obviously have no problem doing so. It does have some benefits. Baddogno has mentioned a few. You can use your imagination to figure out some more.
