Comment on Teachers nationwide are flummoxed by students’ newfound chess obsession

Comments

We played chess in high school. I learned a lot about life, other people, the consequences of one’s actions. Attempting to ascertain the intentions of another based on their actions… I remember the lessons I learned playing chess in the coffee shop more vividly than I remember any of the lessons I learned in class.

Can you put those lessons into words? I'm having a hard time imagining what lesson applicable to real life one could glean from playing chess.
