Artists who play chess
If you thought artists were only about music and mushy tunes, think again. In order to keep their brain sharp and their intellect in optimal condition many artists play chess! There are plenty of chess artists who have literally changed the notion of the game. » The power of the game It has been said that chess is a holistic game that aims to hone almost every aspect of the brain. Especially when played at a tender young age it is said to develop critical skills such as pattern recognition while also improving the overall intelligence quotient. No wonder then that more and more chess artists have begun playing this game. In fact the majority of chess players who are also artists include primarily hip hop rappers! » What does it have to do with art? Many people think that art and music are all about poetry and using the creative right side of the brain. Chess on the other hand is perceived as a very methodical and strategic game where primarily the left hand side of the brain gets used. It is used as a powerful tool to aid learning development in a child. Chess artists have gone ahead with playing this powerful game because it helps them evolve as an individual – both creatively and in terms of intelligence. This helps an artist churn out meaningful lyrics and music in every upcoming album. » Understanding competition better One of the main benefits of chess happens to be in being able to analyze and understand one’s competition better. As an artist you would ideally want to be aware of your competition and find ways and means to strategically be ahead of the race. Playing chess can actually help an artist to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a direct rival artist and exceed these capabilities. This way many chess artists have been able to successfully stay ahead of the competition and exceed their own previous benchmarks of performance! » From checkmate to check Chess has the ability to uplift the mind, irrespective of one’s immediate surroundings. So even if a person has been through a lot of poverty and below average upbringing he or she can still overcome these obstacles and become successful. In fact most of the famous artists of today have come up the hard way through a lot of struggle. That is one main reason why so many chess artists have come forward to support their solidarity for the game. It is because they believe chess has the potential to help any aspiring artist to overcome challenges and achieve fame. » High quality lyrics No matter how good the music, it is eventually the lyrics that stand out in a person’s mind. No wonder then that the songs with bad or obscene lyrics have never stood the test of time. More and more chess artists are realizing that with the power of chess they are able to create beautiful songs with high quality lyrics that are intelligent and deal with non-violence. This is a powerful example of using music to heal the world. |
