Why chess? coz instead of picking your nose most of the time you get to pick chess pieces for sometime.

chess is the ultimate "psych-out" game. eminem tried it by rapping, the all-blacks rugby team try it before their matches, boxers try it before fights, but can't reach the psych-out levels of chessplayers due to the lack of physical exertions by chessplayers. it remains totally mental, powerful vibes gettin' sent out, man! it can drive players crazy, breaks down the neural networks (angels fear to tread type o' thing) if they let it build to dangerous levels without some physical release. Us 'droids have zip to fear on the other hand.

I play chess because there is no end to improvement. It is a way for me to feel like I'm using my time successfully. If I improve enough there are chances for me to travel all around the world. The game seemingly will never die. The list of 'why chess' goes on and on. It is as K4rbon said "pure beauty."

How will chess help you travel all over the world?

Tournaments

Since you still have to pay for travel costs, chess isn't going to help.

Okay, winning tournaments.

Easier said than done.

lordharnois...Carlsen traveling the world winning tourns. i get. U win tourns. world wide.... and which ones are these ?
