For anyone who ever played chess more seriously than just for fun, it's obvious that fitness and stamina are extremely important to maintain concentration. The better heart and vascular system are trained, the better they handle stress of difficult positions and time pressure. Also, tournament runs often take several days during which players' energy is gradually drained out; those who excercise usually have more of it at the end of the competition, when everything is decided. http://chessimprover.com/physical-fitness-promotes-mental-fitness/ | ||

Its not the only one though! I'd personally like a nicely balanced 2v2 / 3v3 fps. | ||
