I kind of agree. Chess sucks big time, especially played online. Playing with your grandpa in the park is OK.

    Why does he have to be bad at chess if he doesn't like playing online? Also I think "Playing with your grandpa." was just a metaphor for, playing with people you like. Some people just play games to have fun, you know, not everything has to be a competition.

      Because their argument wasn't "competitive gameplay is terrible for society", but "chess is bad". But even if it was the former argument: that's unquestionably false too. Just look at professional sports like soccer or Basketball. Surely you're not going to argue that this is bad...? Because that's fundamentally the same, just on a different topic
