Chess is one of the best intellectual games that mankind has come up with. It's my opinion. This game with a distant history (if I'm led by the memory, it appeared in the 7th or 8th century AD). I love this game for the fact that it truly develops thinking and intellect. This is a strategic game that develops logic. When you play chess you think through every step. Experienced players think through many steps forward while simultaneously thinking through the enemy's moves. Even more, they by their actions lead the enemy to make "profitable" moves to them. That is, they lead the enemy to defeat.
I remember the famous phrase from the movie Revolver:

In order to grow wiser, you need to play with an opponent who is smarter than you.

The longest chess game lasted more than 20 hours and ended in a draw. Although I read earlier that the longest party lasted 50 years (but the players did several steps per year :) This is amazing.

One way or another, chess perfectly develops memory and logical thinking. This is a game that you can learn to play even if you have never played. Chess helps you acquire skills that will help you in real life.
