Will Chess Cure Insomnia?

If anything in my experiences online chess is an exercise for the mind an excellent way to keep the mind in good shape as is hiking or jogging or working out at the gym to help to keep in good physical shape build muscles and so forth. My mistakes in chess was that I was torturing myself not too long ago playing too many games sitting down and not getting the proper physical workouts like Bobby Fischer and Walter Brown the chess grandmasters did. Now how did I know these American grandmasters kept physically fit by playing tennis? Trust me they did. Bobby Fischer the number one American legend in chess spoke about it on a major talk show on television and then I face Walter Browne on the other side of the net as we tried to destroy each other as we challenged each other in a match playing sets of tennis. We were very closely match but that was a long time ago back in the early seventies. Playing chess morning all day and all night will only make one obese a good hard workout by whatever physical activity one can muster will make playing chess a more enjoyable game I know it has worked for me. Magnus Carlsen the very young prodigy and now a highly rated chess player does many other activities other than chess. One must have talent for that. Chess will not cure insomnia but it sure can make the time go by with more enjoyment providing you don't start dosing off if you do you will be a prime target for checkmate. Don't get check mated learn from my mistakes it isn't worth it. I love a good game of chess and besides it gives me something like this blog to write about! An over the counter pill will be my answer to aid in my much needed sleep.
