Psychological factors are also present on and off the board playing Chess stimulates our imagination and creativity.
Every single move a player makes is the result of a deep analysis based on the elements presented on the battle field.
Chess in its essence teaches us psychological sociological and even moral values.
In a Chess game both players start with the same amount of material and time.
The fact that the white pieces move first is considered to be practically irrelevant especially because a player typically plays one game as white and one game as black.
Consequently the final result of the battle solely depends on each player.
It doesnt matter if you win by taking advantage of your opponents mistakes or by simply avoiding mistakes yourself.
Truth is that Chess is an extremely individual sport and our defeats can only be blamed on ourselves and no one else.
And this in the end only benefits us because we learn to be and feel responsible for our actions and never come up with excuses to justify ourselves.
We also learn that when it comes to our victories on the board our opponents mistakes play a more significant role than our own skills.
Lets not forget that a Chess game without any mistakes would be a draw.
This way Chess provides us with another valuable life lesson: be humble at all times.
