The allusion of chess to life cannot be overemphasized as it has so much to do with the complexities that are part of life itself. Life comes with riddles, puzzles and challenges which trail the existence of our inevitable walk to achieve success. We as reasonable beings have to come up with favorable solutions to conquer these extant attributes of life.

The chess board itself is rife with riddles and puzzles; how to get your pieces out of entanglements and probably inflict same on the opposing pieces. Attacking puzzling and opposing situations with your pieces and defraying any form of attack which is bound to come. The different variations of each of the chess pieces depict the vagaries of life; it is pretty difficult to predict how things would turn out. Except one is able to cogitate intensely and exhibit precision in knocking out every obstacle on the way to checkmating life’s most daring achievement, success; things would definitely not turn out the way you want.
As humans have different propensities towards achieving success, so also does life have varieties of obstacles that faze humans. From the moment of entry into this world, we are evidently endowed with the responsibility of conquering life’s obstacles towards achieving success; life being the opposing side. This is where man’s brain power is a determining factor as man must think based on how his environment has imparted into his mental capabilities.
It has been discovered that by default man normally uses less than five percent of his brain power in thinking out solutions to tackling a problem. Even with this apparent disability man has still managed to make phenomenally scientific and technological breakthroughs since the evolution of civilization, thanks to our already established academic system. Chess coupled with academics without a doubt is an avenue to increase brain power and ultimately eradicate thinking disabilities to the barest minimum. This is based on the fact that the game tasks the brain and the more the brain is exercised the more it is stretched and tuned to carry out bigger mental tasks.
