> No parent will bat an eye if you play 3 hours straight. I wonder if thats because all parents have seen the queens gambit.(?) I'd say it's more that chess is old, famous for being intellectual, and doesn't have the flashy childishness and addictive mechanics of many computer games. So many of the usual parental worries around screen time - cyberbullying, causing body image issues, destroying attention span, rotting the brain, designed by experts to be addictive, promoting gambling - simply do not apply.
