Chess has never had anything to do with mathematics.

Chess is all about killing the enemy, and the calculation is arranged according to rank, so it is not easy to abstract the concept of number.

If you want to help your math study by learning chess, you should start with gobang. The calculation of gobang is more direct, and it is easier to abstract into mathematical concepts, and it will not rely on the feeling of players like Go. The calculation of gobang must be extremely accurate, and the concept of space and line is very demanding, which is of great help to mathematics.
