is chess actually fun 🤔

Is chess a good game to play when you are feeling bored or want to play with friends?

Can you guys give me some tips for chess and how to get better?

Same

Plz give me some tips

Do you know anything about chess?

Chess is fun. 🙂

Fun! 🙂♟️

Depends what you mean by fun... is you enjoy tying your brain in knots over what to play next then yes. Which I quite like. Whilst I like chess I think there are more fun games, like Scrabble, poker and video games.

Yeah it is fun when you have a mind to be better

So you can beat many players

Chess is super fun.😄♟️

It's a desperate, almost religious passion. Sometimes it's agony...

Well.. if you are trying to compete chess is not fun at all I guess. I mean.. you have time control and all those stuff which you can only get better by practicing. Issue is you could play against a guy who is not that skilled as you are but they know how to play fast because they have a lot of practice. In a classical you would obliterate him.. but in time control he’s gonna beat you very often. It mainly depends on what you wanna do with chess. Compete and win or just play as a hobby. If you wanna chill play with your friends, have a good time then chess is really fun. But competitive chess is gonna make your hair grey unless you really really put in the effort to be fast and better.

Woody Allen's story "The Gossage-Vardebadian Papers" is the supposed correspondence between two chess players having a correspondence match. It becomes obvious they are not really playing the same game. They accuse each other of insanity if not of cheating, and it is clear they are both hyper-competitive to the point of madness. They are not having fun at all - things are way beyond that. They each claim at the end to have checkmated the other. Then one suggests they try playing Scrabble, but things get off to an equally competitive start...

Getting a life is a important part

CHESS is fun if your decently good and don't play the same way every time ♟️♟️♟️

I kn ow what is on ur Christmas wish list, a life

It's like climbing a mountain: it's fun after you've done it, not while you're doing it.

kaeidorn has the best answer-- it is indeed only better after the fact has been conquered after two years in the basement here all the time -- i am waiting for the fun to begin--
