Do chess players<\/a> burn calories while they play a game of chess? This might seem like a strange question because chess is essentially a board game where you sit immobile, frying your brains, trying to come up with the best possible move that will help you win. How can a game in which you are forced to sit still for hours on end make you lose weight?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the answer to the question is yes. Chess <\/a>players do burn calories and lose weight when playing chess. This is not so apparent in the case of amateur chess players but is common in professional chess players and grandmasters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
