What would be bad for me in it. 🙄
Is chess good for you? 😈
Sort:
Yes and no. It depends on how you use it, how much time you spend on it and how it affects your mental and emotional health, as well as your relationships with others. Chess may be good for an older person who is looking to keep their mental faculties in good health. It may be bad for a young child who is so addicted to the game that they cannot think of anything else.

Yes. I used to play Card Solitaire to kill time. Chess is clearly better with it's lessons, puzzles, etc and online opponent are available 24/7.

Chess is like a medicine. If taken in the right amounts, then yes. If not, then it is harmful.

Chess is good for you. It's basically puzzle solving. The only time it is bad is when you lose rating points and end up playing 6 hours in a row trying to regain the rating points that you lost. Like when a 2030 bullet rating dips below 1890 due to tilt. So I would say that in such a case, I was addicted to my past rating points rather than addicted to chess. So sometimes chess can get a bad name unnecessarily.

Idk which is worse. Overplaying or over studying. Chess have unlimited study resources. Hundreds of books, thousands of puzzles and millions of games in database. One obsessed with chess improvement can study many hours EVERYDAY.
@OP yes, something to pursue, it has no bad side for me. Great hobby, love it tbh

Maybe you should learn to play… lagom!
For me, chess calms me. I experience severe anxiety and it crept up on me last week. It felt like my chest was very tight and was being squeezed. When I relaxed to play a game of chess, the chest pain went away, but came back when I was done.

Yeah that to. But it also the thing that I feel that I have to perform every time I play and I feel bad if I underperform or loose to people way lower rated. This also adds stress to me.
So for comparision, reading a books is very relaxing for me but playing Chess is not.

maybe because it is hard to think about problems while playing chess. Like for me I know I had to search for jobs and my econmy was bad. When playing Chess I dont think about this problems and instead ignores them. Which feels good in the short run but will not be good in the long run for me. I need to face my problems to solve them.
