My uncle was a grand master, he is super logical, but did lose a lot one time in poker 😂 he recovered thou

Yes, to some extent, but it’s worth noting that comprehensive strategic thinking does depend on experience and domain specific knowledge.

i dont think so. I went from 1200 to CM in my 20s and it didnt impact much. i wish I had some of that time back to focus on building things :D

Yes 
because getting better gives your brain some good mental exercise 

No 
because the chess is a confined problem with specific board space and pieces 
whereas the real world doesn’t have such restrictions and can allow really creative solutions (out of the box answers)
