We have some fantastic material available here thanks to Mr Leonxto Garcia, renowned chess journalist who has contributed the material to the FIDE Chess in Schools Commission. The links show chess is useful in dealing with issues related to aging. People who know how to play chess will use their brain more efficiently and take care of themselves. Here is a list of all the research articles. Fantastic work.
