I was wondering what playing chess can do for you, with skepticism, of course, and one search on google showed me this:

- promotes brain growth

- it exercises both sides of the brain

- raises your IQ

- helps prevent Alzheimer’s

- sparks your creativity

- Increases problem-solving skills

I guess I must learn how to play chess then...

I was wondering what being homeless did to my brain so I tried it. Boy you can't Google those results. You'd have to be human to understand
