What is something like a hobby or skill that you belive almost anybody should give a try, and what makes your suggestion so good compared to other things?

i feel like this is a descent question i guess.

    One lesson I’ve taken away from it is that playing good chess is much less about coming up with astonishing brilliant moves than I thought. It’s more about making good decisions, positioning yourself well, and continuously applying pressure. If you keep doing that you will have good results most of the time. Great life lesson, hit me in the face like a ton of metaphors when I realized that.

      Absolutely. I’d argue it’s one of the best games to teach kids, siblings, etc.

      I plan on teaching my nephew when he turns 10 as a way to help him think about things critically in which he can apply to the real world.
