Please somebody, please tell me!

Did you mean 'what is chess?' 

Peace

Hmmmmmmmm

no, I definitely mean why. I know what it is. I have played more than 1000 games on chess.com in the last year.

why ask why ?

Why is darts ?

Because there was a need of effective tool for mental torture.

JokernTP I will go with that.

because people have too much time to waste...

mental masterbation! 1000 times's not bad!

because life is to long

 Interesting. I guess this is the best answer so far. Going back to prehistoric times when people used to spend all of their time hunting, eating, mating and sleeping there really was not time for chess. It is only because we have spare time that chess can exist.

Chessis a game, this is why.

Why is baseball, soccer, tennis, golf...?

Because people need to have activities and select games that where created or new games created.

All humans have a ludique side to their life and it's called playing.

Playing what, you decide what you like.

Chess is, because without chess great minds would have to do something productive with their time in order to stay stimulated. Chess slows down progress in the fields of science and technology. It is the only thing keeping the world from advancing at such an incredible speed that literally no one would be able to keep up. Chess is the glue that holds our world together. Now go play chess, and if you suddenly get a new idea about string theory, keep it to yourself.

A battlefield

lol, probably true.

 it is a really tricky situation

is chess?

 not always

He who gives himself entirely to his fellow-men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.
