Watched Bones tonight. Though the detective played chess but was not active, the bad guy was the strongest chess player, all the other chess playing characters were all socially awkward, weird, creepy, whoremongering, sociopaths.

I hope that doesn't reflect real life (here).

Chess players are all to often portrayed negatively as evil, sinister, malicious, selfish and mad (as in crazy not angry).

Sounds like most of the chess players that I've known in real life. What's your point?

Law & Order: Criminal Intent - Season 4, Episode 11 - "Gone"

The episode is based on 'Bobby Fischer. The villain is a chess grand master (a prodigy). Played a match with a russian in 1972. Then he played a rematch with the same rival after 20 years, violating US Sanctions and is a refugee ( These are stated somewhere between 25-30 minutes of the episode). The link is

How can playing a game of chess be a crime against the nation?

If Fischer arm-wrestled his opponent instead of playing chess would it have been criminal?

If he had a hotdog eating contest against his opponent would it have been a crime?

A lot of the protagonists in Star Trek played chess. 

One of them could also communicate with cats.

don't forget chess player villain Windham Earl in Twin Peaks season two!

I think this is because chess is considered a game for the "smartest", and the way you play is usually really serious. With other games you usually talk during them. But with chess its different.

Snooker no talking either
