2. Tests become easy. DS took the SAT last fall to qualify for Johns Hopkins SET. He found the 3 hour 45 minute exam "very relaxing", because that wasn't very long to concentrate, and he was allowed to take 3 breaks during the test.
This is only a result of chess if you don't love tests in the first place.
I always though that the SAT was a fun experience.
I never had an interest in chess because it was extremely finite and struck me as somewhat boring.
Go is honestly probably a better game for what everybody is trying to accomplish here.
Granted, my idea of fun ran more toward card games and strategy games.
