Sports reflect humanity's never-ending pursuit of perfection. Anxiety and fear are negative feelings that are widespread in competitive and performance-based environments. Anxiety is a lot more nebulous and complicated than fear, which often has a clear origin. Anxiety may be a personality attribute or a physiological state, with both mental and physical manifestations. The purpose of this research is to determine the levels of anxiety experienced by individuals before, during, and after participating in a sporting event. Researchers relied mostly on the quick and easy techniques of questionnaires and in-person interviews with chess professionals at the national and state levels. A total of 105 different chess players served as participants. Information was gathered by means of anxiety test questionnaires.
