Chess & stress & our health
Some say '' a healthy mind in a healthy body ''Hello everyone !
I just finished watching some wonderful video of dr berg on internet about stress and the damage on our human body. And the link are quick with chess. As a chess player, we want always to perform as the highest level as possible but at what price for our mind & body.
Let think about it ... Shorter the time is and more the stress go up for moving the mouse. On otb tournament it's the right fingers to grab the piece as quick as possible to put on the right square and pressing the clock to win.
I've seen a lot of chess player who was negligent about there health in exchange for more time with the chessboard or being too much on computer sitting & not burning very much calories. Believe me I'm also one of them, we all need to have some great balance or life will remind us, we are vulnerable & mortal.
