One of the basic arguments is that people who are good at chess tend to succeed in life. Sometimes there are exceptions, such as DSR, but it tends to be a general rule.
Originally posted by scherzoI can tell you a ton of people who were good at chess and failed at life but it would take too long. Instead, I'll limit myself to just the world champions: Paul Morphy, William Steinitz, Alexander Alekhine, Bobby Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, etc.
