What is the use of studying chess

???

I remember I used to be not-so-good at Maths and those tricky questions where you need to use 'logic' approx. 5-6 years ago. However, being recommended to learn chess by a cool-super-sister of mine, I started learning chess with a coach. Well, it used to be fun and troublesome since he gave those puzzles where you've to find 'mate in 2\3' (at that age; I'm good today).

Last year, I scored 92% in Maths over the course of one year, one of my highest percentile ever. Definitely I used to practice, but chess... this game makes you think what next and how one might see it.

To put it simply, it's pretty good. Go learn it.

Studying chess can deepen your knowledge about chess. If you don't study chess, you'd only know the simplest basics and be what we call a 'baby player'. But if you find studying chess a burden, don't do it. Your health and wellbeing always comes first.

Contradictorily, I got about 70 out of 100 marks last year after studying real hard. So in the test this year, I didn't study at all and to my shock, got 96/100. Moral of the story? The effectiveness of studying depends on the circumstance. Don't overdo it and study chess in a suitable way.

I study chess because I want to WIN more games against STRONG players. I have no problem winning against casual players within the family and friends without study.

My chess coach is a scammer and convinced my parents that I have the potential to become a GM if I studied with him. He charges $130 an hour and we just play Dota instead.

>He charges $130 an hour
That is robbery bruh , Even 30$ is too high for a 1400
