Never thought of chess teaching you to see the world through the eyes of others. Good point and I am glad you made it!

One other advantage - which I think might be the most useful chess skill in general - is teaching visualization. However, at least this is what I believe, it only works when you're a kid, so that's a good reason to teach your child chess early.
