mental acuity - adds up to 14 years to the life of one's mind
Line 17: Line 17:     
Top players in chess can assess their optimal next move without feeling bound by their prior ones.  An early chess strategy is abandoned for a better one by top chess players when the changing circumstances on the board warrant it.  This trait is healthy and reinforced by economic principles such as the [[Coase theorem]].  Chess reinforces this.

Physical exercise is good for the body; mental exercise is good for the mind.  Chess exercises both sides of the brain: its right hemisphere, for pattern recognition, and its left hemisphere, for object recognition.  Some suggest that chess adds up to 14 years the life of the mind,<ref>https://www.chessity.com/en/blog/431/The_Benefits_of_Chess</ref> which in many people fails before the bodies do.
