What do you think about the game of chess?
This was a question I posed to a chess group on Facebook and the overwhelming majority (96%) say chess is one of the best things they've done in life, chess has improved their memory and cognitive thinking abilities, they don't regret playing chess and chess has contributed to other aspects of their lives.
Only 4% think chess is a complete waste of time...poor minority :(
The top Canadian players I've interviewed, GM Razvan Preotu, IM Advait Patel, IM Elect Mark Plotkin and WIM Svitlana Demchenko all agree that chess has played a positive role in their careers and life.
