Ok then, I'll start. I think chess is good because it gets your mind working...
A choice of chess... YES, speak it out!

I think chess is good because you have to use your brain, and it makes me relax. If i have to say somethin bad about it, it would be that i use too much time playing it.

good - exercises your brain and its something you never stop learning so it constantly challenges you; bad - chess online is highly addictive ;)

First you must define "good." But in defining good you will at the same time define "bad," for one does not exist without the other. The key is that you must define them, for they are a dichtomy that does not exist in reality. In reality, Chess is not good, and Chess is not bad. Chess just is.

In the crazy world we live in, everything is a problem, a bit like the board, positions problems, puzzles, always changing and we have to keep evaluating FOREVER (until checkmate)

ironically enough it could become bad for you if u become such a chess addict !! that u neglect all other things in life .

i have to agree with the conundrum guy and say chess is neither. playing too much chess is bad, but the mental excercise of playing is good. both of these depend on the player and how they view the game so it would seem that chess in itself has no say in its goodness or badness. as for that no good or bad in reality bit, i disagree.
Hi everyone. I'm just going to carry out this simple experiment to see how many people think chess is good while how many think its bad. All you will have to do is reply how you think about chess ( bad/good) and tell us why....
