Mistakes will be made in chess. If for an amateur player, it is a mistake, for an international chess player, it is a blunder. Chess is such a tight game, that you cannot afford to make even one single mistake.
Chess increases independent thought and decision making skills
Chess helps you analyze your next move, based on strategy. You are totally on your own, and you make your own decisions. By playing chess regularly, you will know how to take important decisions on your own. The more your play chess, the more you become an independent and rational thinker.

You foresee and predict situations. You play proactively and not reactively. You make things happen.
