Is chess boring for beginer
Sort:
It’s actually true that when people don’t understand something they view it as boring. It has nothing to do with chess, but rather, life in general.
The one who can tolerate the most boringness is the winner of the chess game!
Mental stamina and pure theoretical calculation is what breeds a champion. Forget childish emotionality. Play good moves.

What most of society finds boring though is classical chess on tv which is like watching paint dry since the pieces don't move often.
That's right. Because they don't understand that the excitement doesn't come from the idea of one side winning and the other losing, or seeing physical bodies move (although it's exciting as well...) but from what's happening in our neocortexes. So the chess sterilizes the emotions to see if something can ignite in the PFC. In my view it's good TV. But maybe it should be more athletic - like playing with heavy concrete pieces on the world's public squares, and increasing the weight toward the final.
It can be the most fun for them if approaching them with it the right way. For example chessable

I think there used to be a perception that chess was boring because games took to long and you had to be able to think 10 moves ahead to be good at it.
Then the internet and faster time controls came along. Now you can play a game in two minutes, and even the best players will occasionally blunder a piece away in a fast time control.
