4 REASONS TO PLAY THIS GAME

There’s a general misconception about games. Some people wrongly think that games are for mere fun, and that they don’t add any real value to one apart from helping with relaxation. Well, it’s true that games are a great way of relaxing, but more than that, they’re also important for learning and brain development. A number of studies have been conducted on some games, and they all prove this truth.

One game that’s known to improve one’s thinking and smartness level is chess. The game has been around since forever, and while those who play it know how interesting it is, some do not.

This post will tell you 4 reasons why you should try it out if you haven’t. Here are some benefits of playing chess.

 

IT IMPROVES YOUR THINKING (ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN)

Learning and playing chess helps to significantly improve thinking, problem-solving and reading skills. The game’s complex form and the fact that problem-solving is its foundation eventually helps to improve and develop the brain’s capacity and capability for thinking and problem solving overtime. It’s one game every parent should get their kids to try. Research has shown that children who play chess turn out smarter than those who do not.

 

IT EXERCISES BOTH SIDES OF THE BRAIN

Playing chess typically involves the use of both sides of the brain (the left hemisphere, which deals with object recognition and the right hemisphere which deals with pattern recognition). This is mostly because of the rules and techniques of the chess game, so you end up effectively exercising and developing both sides of your brain over time.

 

IT HELPS BUILD YOUR CREATIVE SIDE

As pointed out already, playing chess exercises the right side of brain. The game contributes significantly to growth and development in creative thinking. It also enhances creative abilities as it makes the player consider, analyse and prioritise a wide variety of possibilities.

 

STRENGTHENS YOUR MEMORY

The rules of the game that have to be remembered, alongside the memory recall needed to avoid mistakes and remember the specific opponent’s playing style, contribute to the memory improvement and optimization that playing chess offers.
