9 Benefits of Playing Chess: Plus Potential Downsides

Learn about the benefits — and downsides — of playing chess. We also look at the benefits for children and how to encourage them to play.
Chess can improve the symptoms of ADHD In a 2016 study involving 100 school-age children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, researchers included regular chess playing in a multi-faceted treatment approach. Students who participated in this treatment method experienced a 41 percent decrease in both inattentiveness and over-activity following the course of treatment. Chess enables you to enter a flow state. Flow is a deeply rewarding sense of total involvement, in which you’re operating at a peak performance level in a challenging task. Athletes, artists, and performers often describe entering a kind of time warp, where they are so wholly focused on the task at hand that their awareness of anything beyond the performance seems to disappear. Chess leads to better planning skills. Chess games are known for long periods of silent contemplation, during which players consider each move. Players spend time anticipating their opponents’ responses and attempting to predict every eventuality. That habit of mind — careful contemplation and planning — is one of the cognitive health benefits of playing chess. #shorts #adhd #attentiondeficithyperactivitydisorder #chess Healthline content is strictly informational and should not be considered medical advice.
