17 reasons why chess is not good for you

@ultramuddish though i have a hard time imagining kramnik looking hippie like. If someone said i give you 20 bucks, what guy looks most serious. I would have said kramnik.

chess is not bad
every game is good (any game is good) e.g video games and board games
Maybe not all, but in general, chess deserves every critic. When you hear a master fish seller, and he tell you what month they are fat, and when do the fatty ones test better and when the lean ones. You get a special insight and your entusiasm is awoken. His spirit and respect sparks a flame, but when you hear a random crooked chess master or player. You think how bad does a game have to be that not only accepts but welcomes bs.
So sad how all of you are wasting your time on some trash chessplayer trying to get a rise out of people. Just ignore and let he/she/unidentified gender rant on!

PS: quite suprised the person could actually find the checkmate in 1(:
The poster is absolutely correct, chess is so bad you lose the ability to discern a joke from a serious statement.
i totally disagree to this topic chess is not a waste of time
I could see how someone like Fischer could be seen as crazy, but how could anyone say anything bad about Anand? He is a perfect gentleman & well grounded.
