It promotes the development of thoughtful planning and thinking abstractly in advance of a well-thought-out action. Having a deceptive nature promotes deception.

No, strategic thought.

Interesting question. Probabluy no more than any other game - it is really promoting strategic planning and tactics. However part of that is sometimes trying to make your opponent think you are doing one thing when really you are trying to do another. A good example would be a sacrifice - which you try to make look like a mistake rather than a clever gambit... Is that deception - I suppose it oculd be called so. However I wouldnt worry about children becoming more deceptive by learning chess. The good bits about learning it will far outway any minor deception...

Poh-tay-toe, poh-tah-toe... Deception, misdirection.

Solid strategy and tactics usually require a certain amount of deception. It also requires sacrifice (pawns are called that for a reason).
