At any rate chess is a good exercise for the brain at any level!
Chess is not fun
Sort:
If you think chess is fun, just look at the chess champions faces. Are they having fun? Are they happy? Not at all, all of them look angry, sad or crazy.
Have a nice day!!!
You can play chess seriously or play it for fun.
But if you play like big momma, you can have yourself some serious fun.
It is interesting =A pasttime= anything of that nature is fun.
So you probably think chess is old and boring, right.
Something best left in the dark old days before Playstation and Angry Birds?

Buncha people looking frickin’ miserable crouched over a board for christsake!
But wait!
Chess is fun and sexy and cool - just like these guys! And here is why…
1. People have been playing it for 1500 years.
Since before the 6th century AD, when it originated in India. That’s longer than just about any game ever invented (except for checkers and backgammon).
2. “Boring?” Pah!
That’s how many possible outcomes there is during a game… OVER THE FIRST FOUR MOVES THAT IS. You’re far more likely to win the lottery than ever play the same game of chess twice. So much for it being a ‘boring game’.
3. It’s the ultimate competition.

Because there’s no luck involved. Chess can’t be won or lost on the random roll of a dice, or the whim of the wind, or because your equipment broke, or because the ref missed a foul. It’s just one brain versus the other - no outside factors, no excuses.
6. Chess helps “build a better society”.
According to Armenia, the first country in the world to make the game mandatory in schools.
“Chess develops various skills - leadership capacities, decision-making, strategic planning, logical thinking and responsibility,” education minister Armen Ashotyan explained to Al Jazeera recently. “The future of the world depends on such creative leaders who have the capacity to make the right decisions.”
7. Judit Polgár.
Hungarian Judit Polgár became a Grandmaster aged just 15. Challenging the game’s ingrained sexism, she refused to play in ‘lesser’ female only events and was demolishing male Grandmasters by the time she was 6 years old. She went on to whip nine current or former world champions, demolishing the idiotic myth that boys were naturally ‘better’ at chess than girls.
8. Age is no barrier to success.
American Samuel Reshevsky was whipping several chess masters at the same timewhen he was still only 8.
10. But if you don’t own a set, you can make your own using just about anything.
12. Still not convinced chess is cool? Heath Ledger loved it.
In fact, he was a Western Australia’s junior chess championship when he was 10.
15. But let’s give the final word to Benjamin Franklin.
And get playing the coolest game in the entire world.
agree. the more you know, the more you see the whole game is gone once you make one mistake.
for pretty much this whole last year it has just been an exercise in exhaustion and frustration. Maybe im stupider. maybe im more tired. but its just no fun anymore.
Also why the f would anyone post a 2 page comment? come on toothless.
