Playing sports is my no.1 then music, films and then maybe chess :o)
Chess outside of life is meaningless!
... wait does that make any sense?
Well I do a few sports myself, Fishing, running, and Kung Fu.
Haha. Some fat person might put food !
Other board games are doing terribly in this poll and I really did expect it to be quite high. I thought there were many among us that dabbeled in Shogi, Diplomacy etc.
Board games. I play an assortment of Euro games. I played Thurn and Taxis, Race for the Galaxy, Age of Steam, Wits & Wagers, Buyword, and that was just last night. I'd rather be playing games like Chicago Express, Indonesia, and Container though.
Playing football is my favourite!
I couldn't vote for all my choices, that sucks
Playing football and playing video games.
Reading, watching sports and video games, I love the cricket!
hey, I want to check more than one !!!
Bad survey question due to insufficient number of choices. For example, my other hobby is astronomy/cosmology. No place for that choice on the survey.
Therefore I don't think you'll get as large a response on this survey. Too many other hobbies missing. It's not that you didn't include them...there are too many to include! This is just a bad survey topic in general unless one can have a "fill in the blank" option.

Hmmm... I like aikido and fly-fishing but I don't think of either of them as sports. Good thing I also like boardgaming so I have something to check off.
Why I can't choose more than one? :(......
Anyway, why do most chessplayers like to play sports( which is the total opposite) ? Well, maybe it's for balance..........
I agree, they should have had "other" For instance, there was no place for "building AK 47s and AR15s" or "Tactical Carbine Shooting", etc. Tsk tsk.
I collect board games, I'm so glad that thay put that up there
Ermmm... "other"?
Hacking around with computers and networks. I also do that for a living, but it's so much fun I do it in my spare time too.
How about CARD games? Those are pretty fun too..
Programming and recreational mathematics ftw!
My GF :P
Currently, I am writing a novel. I do not play chess as much as my little brother. I also LOVE reading and I love my computer
I put food but that's more my job, my other hobby is homebrewing.
i put down watching sport ,but i also like to bet on it,and why wasn't poker or card games like bridge listed
I like chess.I like chocolate.I like sport
I love chess!!!
I have one weird thing I like besides chess. They should have put"other" as an option.
killing people?
Where is theatre!?
Chess is a good time pass game and also keeps up mental ability high.
Life outside of chess is meaningless!
That was brilliant!!!!!!
o All of the above.
RUGBY!!! and carp fishing.
sports or video games
VIDEO GAME ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(especially the wii)
I have just started to learn the keyboard,between that and chess plus watching rugby (England won YES! you did play well Scotland ) what else is there to do
except of art I love these all
PLAYING SPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love any type of board game.
texting lol
There is a strong math-music-chess continuum amongst the best known players over the past century. Botvinnik was an engineer, Taimanov a concert pianist, Smyslov an opera singer...
Insufficient choices. I dance at least 9 hours a week. Shouldnt there be an "other" category?
I like Rock Climbing, hence my name
Playing piano. Mostly early 20th century music these days.
playing sports
especially SOCCER
Message boards, reading, photography, movies, video games, other board games, music, airplanes and flying.
Basketball on sunny days, chess on rainy ones...!!
hockey is the best
I put sport ahead of chess. Especially soccer, and ice hockey.
Fishing.
Wilderness survival.
My family. I think people need to look up from the board from time to time and realize, that they are not getting any chicks. Go out in the real world and find some female companionship! Get a REAL life, i mean chess is great and fun and all, but i mean you have to take a break SOMETIMES!
I like lots of things, most of which aren't listed. I agree with the others who say there should be another option, or you could tick more than box
More options please. Flyfishing, computers, SEX
WATcHING tElLY
i LOVE writing and i ADORE acting but i also LOVE a lot of things that where not options!!! MORE OPTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!
I play water polo planning to be the best.
Well, I put writing. Here's my list, in order from best to worst. (of the choices shown)
The last three are tied. I don't care much for pro sports.
and no, I'm not fat, I like cooking food, not eating it.
it's just another form of art.
MY FAVORITE IS VIDEO GAMES.. BUT I ALSO LIKE SOCCER...
I compose and arrange music for bands, marching bands and drum corps. Really!
watching sports 6%
my first passion in life is billiards,i strive dailt to become a pro pool player and im very close to pro speed now,[just recently bought a 9 foot table and i spend 2 to 3 hours a day practicing on it,BTY,if any1 reads this and is near baltimore area and would like a game let me know
My real answer would be music/singing, but with the theme of games, as chess is, I absolutely love Texas Hold 'Em (Poker). It wasn't an option...
I like to go on small sniper missions and read my Bible!
we have many other things to do..!! but, chess is my PASSION...!!!!!
I play checkers sometimes, I play the Wii, I take karate and play a little football, I watch things like the Super Bowl and the World cup Championship, I love to read (but not so much writing), I have made a movie in iMovie once but I guess that's not a hobby, I draw a lot, I play the piano, and I would consider cooking as fun, so I guess you could say all of the above for me.
