There are many reasons why playing chess is important. Some of the benefits of playing chess include:

--> Improved cognitive skills. Chess can help improve cognitive skills such as memory, problem-solving, and critical thinking. A study by the University of California, Berkeley found that chess players had better working memory and executive function skills than non-chess players.

--> Increased concentration and focus. Chess requires players to focus for long periods of time and to concentrate on multiple tasks at once. This can help improve concentration and focus in other areas of life.

--> Enhanced creativity. Chess can help players think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to problems. A study by the University of Texas at Dallas found that chess players were better at generating creative ideas than non-chess players.

--> Reduced stress levels. Chess can be a relaxing and stress-relieving activity. A study by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that chess players had lower stress levels than non-chess players.

--> Improved social skills. Chess can help improve social skills such as communication, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Playing chess can also help players learn to deal with losing and to accept defeat gracefully.

So in my college organization of my department organized chess event and I made this intro video for the event.
