'''Chess benefits''' are immense. This inexpensive mental competition which is played without dice or any element of chance has been a source of benefits for many centuries. Here are a few examples:
==Helps defeat substance abuse==
Many have commented, and even written scholarly papers about, the ability of [[chess]] to help individuals overcome substance abuse. Several reasons have been advanced for why:
#chess, perhaps more concisely than any other activity, illustrates the stark difference in consequences depending on choices made;
#chess engages the mind more than most sports do, and substance abuse directly interferes with mental processes; and
#chess can be consuming in a positive way, which drives out harmful proclivities.

Famous athletes have continued to succeed at sports, though not at their highest potential, despite having substance abuse problems. But no one is going to be able to thrive at chess while continue substance abuse.

"Checkmate" is the result of substance abuse, and no chess player wants to put himself in that position.
