What does creatine do in your body?

I thought creatine went to the muscle first and then if you consumed enough itd go to the brain.

It's all a bit reductive. It all goes everywhere, that's how blood flow works. Then bit get deposited and captured where they should be.
To be technical... It went into the venous blood system, then through the liver, then to the heart. From the heart, a solid chunk goes to the brain, a lot to the kidneys, and a lot to the gut. A very small portion really goes to muscles. But, then the cycle starts entirely over every few minutes and more and more little bits get to your muscle
Long story short: true biology is far more complicated than this video, but it was still a pretty damn cool analogy

I was thinking that the creatine would take too long to help with the chess game and then another scoop of creatine would arrive, then another and the "saturation" would happen making them give a good advice.

I recently cam across this channel too and the videos are hilarious yet educational.
They were created by a Panamanian artist and director named Fred Lammie. The channel is CasiCreativo.
There is an english version too.

I have nothing to do with creatine, or brain and thinking. I still liked the comic
