Chess is a great way to keep your mind active. In my opinion, the downsides depend on the person. If you decide to give up social interactions and your health all for chess, that's who you are. In summary, chess is good, but if you let it control you, good things will not come.

No, I meant ego
it's called a joke.
I don't think a lot o-Whatever.
Stupid post. Sure, maybe a few grandmasters went crazy. Thousands of doctors go crazy every day, thousands of lawyers, thousands of teachers, thousands of people around the world. Do all those things make you go crazy, too?
It was probably the lead in the water that made Morphy go crazy more than the chess. Or maybe the fact his father pressured him to abandon his true love and be a lawyer instead.
Saying chess makes you go crazy therefore you shouldn't play it / invest time in it ... that can be said about anything. Go make a post about the amount of medical school students offing themselves or going mental... nobody cares.
Such a long post and for what? To make an excuse for your mediocre chess play? lmao
Blah blah blah chess will kill you blah blah blah oh no gukesh died help
