The Science of Chess
Chess, that most eminently logical of games, without any element of chance (unless the player makes random decisions), may actually require the same kind of thinking as science; learning to think in chess, then, can lead to a better understanding of scientific thought. According to a study presented in Nature Magazine, the thought process of chess grand masters resembles that of “falsification,” as described by famed philosopher Karl Popper.
The World Wide Web of Chess
The Internet being the gargantuan, powerful network that it is, playing chess has never been easier. Whether you mean to find a genuine human opponent against whom to match your wits, or whether you’re interested in trying to best a computer, playing online chess offers a huge number of options. Online chess games were perhaps one of the first and most obvious types of programs to be set up on the Internet, and they make it possible for players from entirely different parts of the world to play together, something which has never before been possible. So if you’re looking for an easy way to hone your mind, while perhaps having the opportunity to chat a bit with people from elsewhere on the planet, then look no further than playing online chess.
