Playing Chess has many benefits. It is proven to make you smarter. A study of 4,000 Venezuelan students (male & female) showed significant rises in IQ scores after 4 months of Chess instruction. Another study by Dr. Robert Freidland was recently featured in The New England Journal of Medicine. It found that people over the age of 75 who regularly engage in activities like chess are less likely to develop Dementia and Alziemers than their non-board-game-playing peers. Just like an un-exercised muscle loses strength unused brain tissue leads to a loss of brain power. Chess is particularly good as it deeply engages both sides of the brain for both novice and expert players as shown in this German study. Still not convinced? Chess has also been shown to improve your creativity, memory, problem-solving ability, concentration and planning/foresight skills. Have you played a game today?

Some data is technically necessary to be able to visit the page at all. A so-called cookie stores identifiers that make it possible to respond to your individual requests. It contains a session ID - a unique, anonymous user ID combined with an authentication identifier (user_data). A security identifier (csrf) is also stored to prevent a particular type of online attack. All of these fields are alpha-numeric, with almost no relation to your real identity. The only exception is that we monitor some requests with the IP address that you are currently using, so that we are able to detect malicious use or system defects. Additionally, a technical field is stored (singletab) to ensure that some interactions are only processed in the browser tab that is currently active. For example, a new chess game will not be opened in all your current tabs. We use your local storage to save the difference between your local clock and our server time (serverUserTimeOffset), so that we are able to display the date and time of events correctly for you. We measure how our page is used with Google Analytics so that we can decide which features to implement next and how to optimize our user experience. Google stores your device identifiers and we send tracking events (such as page requests) to Google Analytics. These have no direct relationship to your person except for the IP address currently being used and your Google Analytics identifiers. You can also enable more data fields, as described in the other sections. Your personal decision on which data storage to enable is also stored as necessary information (consent).
