Close scrutiny would show that chess would be an excellent tool for magical training, just as concentration and visualisation are. I'm willing to suggest that an hour of chess per day can enhance the levels of the mind to an extraordinary level, and extremely prudent for magical growth. Creativity, logic, concentration, comparison, etc. What do you believe? Any chess players here? This post has been edited by NecroReaper: Jan 28 2007, 03:14 AM

There's some common ground, but not a lot IMO. @Bb3: there's a difference between psyching someone out and making them doubt their abilities, and sending them to the psych ward with permanent psychosis. Chess does the former (Bobby Fischer being a notable exception, but the guy was never stable anyway), and I've seen magic do the latter quite a few times.
