Hello, My name is Ariz Husain and I am 13 years old. These days online chess is increasing in the world, playing chess online has affected my eyes and weakened them. Tomorrow is my eye test, my parents said that if I needed to wear spectacles after the test they wouldn't allow me to play chess because they say that health is more important and my point is that chess is my passion. Isn't it unfair? Please advice me something to cheer my parents up and deal with them.

How is it that chess is affecting your eyes?

If you can't play online, play on the board.

Also, if it affect your eyes because of "using the computer" try different themes, hopefully that might help.

Yeah but the most effective way to practice chess is online, grandmasters also play online

When you go for your eye test, take Virat Kohli with you - he dropped a sitter in the outfield the other night. happy.png

Yeah, but when you so close for a long time on a screen, you forget to look far away.

That might help but in the long term and very little, it won't pass me from the eye test tomorrow. Also, it won't help me deal with my hostile parents.

Learn to play blind chess tongue (to be honest I want to learn that haha).

Might take years to master it, but sounds fun and worth it.

Tell them that you will only play 1 hour a day or 90 min at most....

They are right you need to avoid looking at the screen for hours every day...
