Any Benefit to Chess?

Here's the obvious answer. Who chess player you envy without the chess title. They are cringe nobodies with no life.

The biggest benefit to chess would be learning how to learn, as you have a very clear feedback in the form of your ELO ranking of how fast you are progressing. You could make a plan on how to gain the most ranking points in some time period and see what it takes to become good at something.

With other hobbies, like Yoga, while they might be more beneficial for your life, you lack that quality, instant feedback. Feedback is king.
