does chess increase violence?

lol are you just trying to raise your member points or are you serious?

I'm serious man...ever since my friend started playing chess he became more violent and more self-centred.

It can do:

lol...

Greensburg looks like quite an intense place to live, here in cape town we just tip our king over and say "i resign"

lol...i agree wagrro.

Maybe chess can increase violence. I mean, pretty much every game/sport can make loosing player mad. Chess was banned in some of the U.S. schools: "for being way too competitive sport". What kind of nonsense is that ?? Every sport is competitive, that's why it's called sport, right? Playing online/internet chess , when loosing games makes some people really mad; while playing real OTB tournaments don't (or less).
People should just act more professional and don't take looses way too serious.
