Thanks for pointing this out I am yet to read the rules and see that the religion/politics will come up a lot So when I see these debates Should I report them

lol my bad for debating religion. but tbh this thread is bound to get atleast a discussion or two about religion/politics. its inevitable.

Chess is a game of strategy, I don’t see why it is haram.

The guy who wants to ban chess must be a REALLY bad loser.

It's also really stupid. It's like banning riding camels because someone might bet on it.
