There are now two disussion items from the original: (1) the first was that
chess does not encourage, sustain or create evidence to show a transfer of
knowledge in math, (2) the second, as listed below, that ALL games are utterly
devoid of worth of learning. These two are separate and distinct, one a result
of direct experience with a specific game (over we may presume the course of
some 30 years), the other a sweeping generalization not inferred or implied by
the original.

I'd hate to think that someone would close his mind
