I'm always skeptical of so many stories like 'chess help x' because it's very easy to believe it's true but I also could believe it never helps objectively. I'm curious of the studies.



“It teaches them to think before they act”. Give me a break. This is nothing more than self lauding propaganda. I have been hearing this throughout grammar school that such and such subject/task/homework helps students do a, b, and c. I don’t think so. It only justified their system of education. Likewise, this is trying to justify prison programs. A sham.
