How is it different from being addicted to a video game in an urban setting?
- gglitch 9y agoI don't know if you meant that rhetorically, but I think it's actually an interesting question. It'd be easy, but facile, to attach formal elegance and intellectuality to chess, but I'm sure there are equally elegant and intellectual video games. In the context of this particular article, the socialization on display feels qualitatively different and superior (to me), to what I associate with even relatively social videogames.
- Bakary 9y agoChess players on a screen and over the Internet feels a lot like video game sessions (in fact it literally is a video game, just that it's usually not perceived that way). OVer the board chess in a social setting feels completely different though.
