Chess doesn't necessarily make you smarter, but it does increase your concentration, attention and memory skills. Also it helps you with tactical situations. Bullet chess helps with quick thinking and improvisation. Also, of course, it improves chess skills. So if you feel like you're smarter cause of chess, it's probably just a placebo. Good luck, I AM THE GOLDLORD!!!

The general meaning of smarter is a higher IQ. Chess improves strategic thinking, that's the closest to making you smarter. But technically it doesn't make you smarter.

I know, but chess doesn't change it. Other things do thou

If a 2 guys with machine guns are coming and all you have is a bat and a huge speaker, how do you escape. Tactical situations are situations where you have to think of a plan to escape a sticky situation. Example is you could use the speaker to blast music. When the person is irritated and moves in to turn it down, you knock him out and take the gun.  You use the gun to fight off the second guy. You also plan to get the advantage in chess all the time, so the more you play, the better you get at those.

So the "result" you promised is basically just your opinion? Interesting.

It does increase concentration, attention, memory and tactical thinking. But it doesn't improve IQ. How is that an opinion. Being smart means having a higher IQ.

I saw your previous comment, you admitted that it was clickbait by saying "lol yeah" you're not slick

I know then I realized it's not technically clickbait since I said might surprise you so I deleted it and made a new response
