Who likes chess?

Question

my wife thinks I'm strange because I like to play chess. Am I?

Maybe chess is old fashioned now - young people want electronic stuff and a traditional game like chess seems boring but I love it. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I love chess and all that it brings.  No other game teaches what chess teaches and instills in people.  Manners, good sportsmanship, memory retention, logic, planning, execution.  

Its a great game to improve your memory, what other game do 2 people shake hands before and after and wish each other good luck, and congratulate each other?

It's not strange at all to enjoy playing chess. Chess has reached world-wide acclaim, but women also play it.

Answer 11

I like to play it occasioannly.  There are huge chess communities, both on-line and off, so you can't say it's strange.

In today's world of constant distractions, it's great to get your brain concentrating for an hour or so on a singe task.  I think if more kids played chess, we'd have less ADHD.

Answer 12

I cant figure out how to play it I hate it, but that doesn't mean its weird at all play it if u want tell her millions of people play chess

Answer 13

Chess is a gymnasium for the mind. It doesn't make a person strange. It enhances a person's  ability to solve problems and make decisions.

Maybe your wife hasn't been around many people who like to play chess and you being the avid player that you are is a novelty to her.

If you have children or plan to, I hope that you introduce them to the game and they get lots of encouragement from both you and your wife to excel at it.

Answer 14

I do,haven't played for a while though.I think most young people nowadays would find the game too slow.
