More than 200 years ago, Benjamin Franklin observed that "the game of chess is not merely an idle amusement. Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by chess, so as to become habits, ready on all occasions." Just like polishing a diamond increases its value tremendously, by polishing the mind, chess unleashes more of the mind's hidden potential.
