Chess for Trading?

We all know that poker has some connections to trading, but what about chess? Does the fact that it is an intellectual game that requires you to think several moves ahead mean it has any bearing in making a good trader? Obviously not a saying a good chess player is automatically a good trader or that every good trader is a good chess player, but do you guys think it could be a means to improving critical thinking ability similar to poker?

Lol yeah I'm not saying go brag about it while actually trading, I just meant it could have some intellectual benefits that might be applicable to finance
