BTW, Chess is probably a bad example to compare to videogames because it's quite possibly the greatest, most complex, and deep game ever created. That's a pretty damned high bar to set for anything else.



I notice you left "fun" off the list. Well played.

Chess is alot of fun, and I don't even need to mention that it helps develop your mind.

I've played chess for years until I started going to college. Just before I quit I had an ELO of just over 2000 and was one of the top players of my age in my country. The hardest part is learning the game (it was for me), but after you know the rules and how to move the pieces, you're set to have some fun.
