Depends on your opinion. I'm more of a tennis, ping-pong, and pickleball kind of guy when it comes to racket games, though.

I think @InsertInterestingNameHere is just here to argue with me. He goes, "you can't just back up your opinion using your opinion like facts blah blah blah" and then goes, "oh, by the way, I agree with you. wink.png" Kind of weird mentality if you ask me. Very privileged point of view.

You can hardly call a chess player an athlete, cos he spends most of his life sitting on his ass ! 🤷‍♂️

Well even though they sit down, competitive does burns lots of calories.

sorry but if there was profanity in your post then you deserved a warning whether you were quoting it or not... just gotta be careful.

I was muted for a conversation about dogs with someone. Female ones were mentioned. I think it's complete lack of respect for individuals .... maybe especially those from different cultures. They want everyone to adhere to their cultural values. If they can't respect others then others will not respect them.

I do not dare mention Jennifer Shahade’s first book on women chess players.
