📝 Description
A classic strategy board game involving two players and 32 pieces on a 64-square grid. Each piece—pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen, and king—has unique movement rules and strategic value. Huberman highlights chess as a specific tool for neuroplasticity because it requires the player to adopt multiple 'identities' or roles for different pieces within a single game, forcing the prefrontal cortex to run complex predictive algorithms.
💬 Quote Context
