Playing chess can expand neuroplasticity by requiring players to assume multiple identities with different rules within a single game.

“what it really points to is the fact that in a single game chess you have at least as I understand two players and those two players are moving pieces on the chess board for which each piece can do different things right can move in different ways under different scenarios but there are different rules for different pieces and so each player actually has to assume multiple identities during the same game and each of those identities has different rules and ways of interacting.”
