Perhaps indirectly, in the form of being able to analyze a situation, formulate a plan and implement it. Kind of like solving a word problem in algebra, lol.
It might also help in the discerning process, e.g., when to take the initiative or to be cautious, etc. in chess and in life.
How transferable are chess skills (to other games, to other areas of life, to other skills...)?
I enjoy the game and would play it just for fun regardless, but still wondering...
