Although if you are playing chess, obsessiveness with the game would probably be good. But of course it will vary greatly from person to person.

Actually, the sort of obsessiveness it produces diminishes the ability to switch attention, so people get obsessed over a particular train of thought and are unable to evaluate other strategies. Basically you end up obsessed over that one strategy, and motivated to do it, instead of taking a step back to re-assess.
