None whatsoever, if you ́re honest.
Pleasant hours spent in an extremely intriguing game. With a positive impact on mood, which I think can certainly be considered a benefit.
Sincerely I don't see other benefits, but what I have described is definitely very good.
Its an an enormous and horrible waste of time
If you are talking online chess, pure entertainment. Satisfaction if you win. Humility when you don't.
OTB all of the above plus the social aspects too.
It provides physical healing for me. Especially after a horrifically bonehead blunder and i kick the fecking coffee table, breaking my big toe in the process. Then...the healing process begins. Zen.
it's a good way to get mad at your computer screen
- A game that can create bonds and friendships.
- A good way to interact with other cultures!
