One of the few, and perhaps the only game of its kind without the element of randomness. The winner is always the one who plays better, the one who has learned more tactics and knows the game better. For example, if you take poker, the chances of winning are higher for a player with experience, but no one canceled blind luck, if you go all-in with 2, 7 against a pair of aces, although very low, but there is still a chance to collect a set or two pairs, and in chess this does not work that way. There, the smarter one always wins)
During the game, two hemispheres of the brain work at once. A person uses both logical and abstract thinking at the same time. Logical thinking is the left hemisphere. The player thinks through the outcome of the game, makes a sequence of moves, builds competent chains of events. The right hemisphere is abstract thinking. It is responsible for creating potential situations. The player takes into account the possible moves of the opponent, builds a game based on simulated situations.
Also, during the game, RAM and long-term memory are actively used. A person stimulates mnemic processes. Chess is based on digital, visual, and color stimuli that the human brain must process simultaneously. Naturally, such a load has a positive effect on intellectual abilities.
