Chess personalities and stereotypes

Chess challenges the human mind on many mental levels. The lesser-experienced players can try and make sense of the different personality types associated with chess players of a higher skill level.

Over the years, chess players have been identified as being categorized under any of the following characteristics:

● Crazy

● Intellectual

● Nerdy

● Socially awkward

● Quirky

● Quiet

Before ascending on a deep dive into these so-called characteristics, it is worth looking into the components of just one gameplay.

Firstly, you obviously need to know how to even play the game—assuming you have all the intricacies under the knee. You need a set of opening strategies as you carefully navigate a 64 square board that comprises horizontal rows and vertical files.

The middle gameplay entails using various tactics and techniques in defending your chess pieces against carefully thought out enemy attacks. The winner is the one that is able to outplay their opponent by paying attention to the smallest of details that can secure a winning outcome.

It makes sense to say that people that are attracted to this type of strategic play can be categorized as being intellectual. It also helps to be reserved in nature and be so focused that you might appear withdrawn to your opponent. Being a frequent practitioner of chess is needed to advance skill levels and overall game improvement.

While it might just purely be opinion, there is no denying that chess has an impact on the personality traits of chess players.

Some people might morph into a quicker version of themselves. This can be attributed to staring at a traditional black and white checkered board for hundreds of hours. They will most certainly see something entirely different than what a new chess player or non-chess player might see or perceive. They form a mental picture in their head of which moves can be played and how they can obtain any advantage over their opponent.

Due to the mental gaming aspect, some players might be classified as being socially awkward by non-chess players as they would much rather lap up the opportunity to stay in and indulge in a few online chess games as opposed to attending a social event like a party for instance.

Chess can also bring out the over-analyzer personality traits. A college student might now overthink their essays in search of the perfect word to get their message across.

It is like putting one person into a machine that will churn out an entirely different person. They can adopt both the good as well as the negative attributes that are associated with playing chess, especially by people that don’t know how to play chess.
