I think chess is an absolute waste of time. It is like spending your time doing long division for no reason. You learn nothing at all that is applicable to any domain outside of chess. You could spend your time reading a good book instead.
- yibers 4y agoWhat if I read a good book about chess?
- sterlind 4y agowhat if you happen to find chess fun? is fun a waste of time?
- r-zip 4y agoWould you say the same about golf?
- prepend 4y agoWhat’s wrong with doing long division for fun? I gave up trying to police people’s choice for fun. Let people watch baseball or ferret racing or whatnot. Comically, I remember as a kid people telling me that reading a book was a waste of time. And asking why I would ever read something not assigned. Someone will always think my thing is dumb. Someone is always smarter. Someone is always dumber. So what. If it’s not harming themself or others, then I let it be.
