Why Chess?
Chess is not just a nerd-off…
…it’s an exploration of what it means to be human.
Like soccer, chess is universal, a game where simplicity underlies complexity, where ideas become reality, where truth and dare challenge us. For 1,500 years, chess has been the stuff of legends.
With the scrutiny of a scientist, the imagination of an artist, and the grit of an athlete, nothing demands more cerebral rigor, elasticity, and fitness than chess.
Chess teaches you to get a grip of yourself, your situation, and your means to face whatever challenge life throws up, no matter the odds.
It’s not what happens on the chess board that matters, it’s what happens inside your mind that matters most when you play chess.
No matter who or how old you are, where you’re from, or what you do, chess is for anyone who wants to experience more than just a game. It has the power to make you happy.
