Chess learns you very important lessons every other game can't teach you.

chess has nothing to do with intelligence and won't increase your iq. the only good it can do is make you good at chess. people like magnus carlsen aren't smart because they play chess, they are just god gifted. You just don't need some genius iq to be a grandmaster. all of this chess and intelligence is a myth, the reason why people equate it with intelligence is probably because of the history or the culture around it. just like how video games are viewed so negatively in the society. but the reality is they can improve your brain

so if you play chess for fun, fine but if you play it thinking it's going to improve your cognitive abilities sorry for u

Also from the article:
Deal with it. Small brain doesn't mean bad.
This reminds me, about the fact, that neanderthals had bigger brains than homosapiens.

Yeah, I've noticed that I am writing every letter like an "L" after moving the Knight and like an "I" after moving a pawn.
You kind of missed the point. Tell me, are you capable of doing basic math in your head? If not you can approach it like you do your calculations on the board. If you've done multiplication in your head you'd probably know that you have to invasion the numbers in your head, (just like you do when doing chess calculations,) and then you'd worked the problem out right to left, or left to right which is also comparable to thinking lines with more then one move.
