The experience and enjoyment of chess varies from person to person.
Chess is a game that has elements of various sports, but at the same time is similar to the arts, as the experience and enjoyment for those who play differs from person to person. Thus, many simply love the feeling of playing, others get great satisfaction from defeating their opponent, while still others seek the feeling that comes when a beautiful line of play pays off. Chess is a relatively inexpensive sport/art, and regular practice is considered to improve, among other things, academic performance, social activity, skills, and enjoyment.
