“Chess is life” – Bobby Fischer
Because it is our universal language
Because it improves mental age by up to 14 years
Because it promotes accountability and responsibility
Chess is life
Because I have been playing since I can first remember
Because it has acted as a bridge between cultures for 1500 years
Because it evokes concentration, logic, and critical thinking
Chess is life
Because it absorbs your emotions
Because it stimulates the growth of our brain’s dendrites
Because it calms us in adverse situations
Chess is life
Because it keeps Alzheimer’s away
Because it instills virtues of graceful losing and rewarding winning
Because it reflects the human experience
Chess is life
