i mean that's a satire because like ok kasparov the sequence from 25 - 33 is NM level; what luck! what a player, what a dazzling sequence; why ask about chess culture when with moves like that you already own it

Hey guys! I'm writing an ethnography for my English class and I was wondering if I could get some people to share their "chess experiences" with me so that I could get a better grasp of how the community is. I'll leave a few questions if you'd like to answer those. I really appreciate it!
Questions:
How did you get into chess?
How does being in a club affect how you play/view/interact with the game?
Do you enjoy it, or is it more of a job?
What do you enjoy about it?
When did you start playing?
How do you think chess affects your interactions with people outside of chess, if there is any correlation?
Does partaking in chess affect you outside of playing and studying chess in any way? Like, outside of playing chess, does it affect you?
What merits do you think a person needs to become good at chess?
Have you ever felt like quitting chess?
What makes you want to continue playing?
Are you happy with your rating right now?
What would be an ideal rating for you to achieve (if you’re not happy with where you’re at)
Dude, how does interviewing random people online help with an ethnography? We could be lying about every word we say, and you'll just take our word for it? I seriously don't recommend using any information from us.
I'm quarantined at home. I can't personally interview anyone, and I don't personally know anyone in a chess club near me, which is why I posted here. The point of the ethnography is to learn something about a group of people that you didn't know before.
Interview your parents/siblings (if you have any)
My parents and siblings do not play chess. I posted on this thread because I needed people who played chess to answer it.

Haha, thanks man! I can't tell if you're joking or not, but I appreciate it nonetheless.
Ok, looking back I definitely think you're joking because there are some definitely questionable moves in there.

But it doesn't have to be an ethnography on people who play chess, does it? I'm not so experienced on the topic, but aren't two people enough to write an ethnography?
