Chess is a game of strategy and in some ways is designed to train the mind to think a certain way.  It uses pieces named for different military units perhaps but it does try to simulate military strategy or tactics.  Chess, in some ways, is similar to Poker – you aren’t playing the game so much as playing the opposing player.
