£30 minutes of jugging, swimming, boxing, rowing etc is more refreshing, rewarding and economical that 2 hours of playing chess, and if you spend 2 hours playing chess everyday you miss out on learning a second language in that time or any other skill you can use in your future life. Just play 10 minutes a day unless you are making money from playing chess. Chess is for those who are passive, introversive or stuck in life!

You're just going to die anyway, so you might as well waste your time playing chess. Unless you have an escape plan we don't know about!

I do have an escape plan!!

30 sterling minutes? Oh no! Time costs money!

I agree with zuker. I play chess about 6hours a day wish there was money to be made but no one will wager anything knowing their up against the best in the city
