Can Chess makes you critical about others

Chess is all about perfection. At each move, you try to pick the best choice. And when the opponent commit even a very minor mistake, you pounce on it.

This is a good habit in chess board.

But outside it, it is not so good habit.

Say for example. Your friend makes a statement, that is not grammatically correct. You have a sharp intelligence and immediately tell him that is incorrect grammatically. This does not make you, a popular person.

Habits do not come and go just like that. It stays with you. That is the reason, why I feel that Chess Players are very quick to sense incorrect statements and can be outspoken personalities.

What is your thoughts on this ?
