Hey Tanvir,
Thank you. I am new to chess but love chess very much than any other game. I am happy that you posted about the Benefits of Chess. I can recommend this awesome game to all my friends and clearly explain the benefits of Chess.
I’m glad you mentioned that playing chess can improve concentration. I’ve been looking for ways to help my daughter improve her focus. Thanks for giving me the idea to find an online chess coach to teach her how to play!
I found it interesting when you said that playing chess gives you self-motivation. My wife told me that she would like to take our son to practice different activities after school. I will suggest to her that on her busy days, she can let him learn how to play chess online.
