    99% tactics and 1% strategy rightly said by Grandmaster. That 1 percent strategy matters a lot right from the beginning word go. Opening line study gives fundamental understanding of proper opening where you can derive your strategy and that gives birth to the middle game position. Imbalance study in chess plays a vital role in chess... End game study demand your calculation strength. There is one more chess, combination chess. It is not everyone's cup of tea. Mikhail Tal was one of those. Please don't underestimated chess game. Yes, you can implement chess style in your practical life. Attack is a best way of defense. Thanks!

    "no wonder there are more than 190,000 games to be played", the number of possible chess games is bigger than the number of atoms in the universe, the figure 197742 is the number of possible games after both players moved twice and it increases dramatically after an additional move to 121 million and so on

      121 million u say do u know that's not even half the population of only humans on earth itself.And comparing atoms lol. Atoms are the units which make almost everything in the universe.There are so many Atoms in this galaxy that even if u start from today and keep on writing 0 after 1 for the rest of ur life it wont be enough to calculate all of the atoms in this galaxy let alone the universe.

      @@sabyasachighose1003 the number 121 millions is after BOTH players moved ONLY THREE TIMES, it grows exponentially as the game continues, it is estimated that the number of possible moves in chess is 10^120 while number of atoms in the observable universe is 10^80, other calculated in to be even bigger at 10^(10^50) and some applied a different approach of "sensible" moves and games to be 10^40 moves, but on a technical, pure combinatorics sense, it's bigger than the number of atoms

    Playing chess seriously, and I mean literally calculating lines, choosing best moves, building plans and recognise some patterns improves not only visualisation, but also analytical skills, calculation skills, memory , concentration, planning and patience etc. There is many things that chess can improve in your brain. It’s rightfully called the intellectual game cause through history there was many mathematicians, scientists, doctors and other prestigious professions that played this game and had a grandmasters title. It’s a very deep game, and to play it perfectly at the highest level is extremely hard for people, that’s why we will never win against the strongest engines, but we still can constantly keep improving

    I think strategy and tactics are skills of their own. I used to have a very little interest in chess, but after playing warhammer and making progress with my tactical and strategical skills, I started to appreciate and enjoy chess a lot more.
    And strategy is basically about making the best of you limited resources, tactics is about execution of that plan.
    And to evaluate tactics one requires all of the skills - visualization, theoretical knowledge, a little bit of probability intuition or knowledge, a little bit of psychology.
    They are surely complex skill, because they depend on a set of different soft and hard skills, but still a skill that is more than the sum of its parts.

    It seems that chess attracts the intelligent people who naturally find interest in it(high in openness) which is correlated to high IQ. Visualization in chess is a game of intended probabilities that changes through the moves of your opponent that changes the whole game strategy which low to normal iq can't bother too much to it. It's safe to say that people with high IQ can facilitate that time without too much compensation. Autism or idiot savants compared to high IQ players tend to accommodate the game with nothing to spare outside that brain processing and other aspects of life. I'd say learn chess if you want to process faster and keep your brain healthy and functional. It's more beneficial if just a hobby than your entire life.
