We all hear about the benefits of chess such as that it improves your memory, you meet new people, it increases your IQ by 20 points, and it's a productive way to spend your time before your inevitable death of a pure dark void. But what about the downsides?

I'll start.

If it wasn't of chess I would have had more time to focus on my academic studies, I would have enough money to pay off my student loan instead of wasting it on NYC chess gambling, I would not have assaulted my girlfriend, and I would be a respected professor teaching gender studies instead of turning to a life of crime and drugs.

What about you? Please share your experiences with chess addiction.

And then you would have had more time to spend on video games, and thus have the same effect.  I don't think Chess is to blame, just your personality.

Actually bong, I went the creative writing route and that was a waste too!  No, what I should've done with my time was learn to play rock guitar; then maybe I could've joined the Banana Splits!

Says HR Pufnstuf! I think most here are too young to get the banana split joke.

(If you are reading this then google "the banana splits" but be warned you will need therapy afterwards)

@OP - Your disrespect has been reported. The likes of you should be eradicated. Unfortunately, you will but create another abusive account after being zapped. You take some form of demented pleasure in disrespecting chess. Thankfully, you are in the vast minority. I speak the Truth.

In other words, you’re just a hater.

facing difficult facts about chess often takes courage. when that courage is lacking, other members get reported.

If it wasnt for chess I probably would have had kids and a wife, or ex-wife.

Agreed, my girlfriend, of 7 years, left me after I chose chess over our relationship. No woman deserves my love if they cannot accept my undying love for a dying board game.

For me chess is a form of escapism after I had a little burnout after my PhD. I still have to find the right moment to slow down the chess and begin with I really should and want to do: write and publish a couple of books on human evolution, evolutionary biology and history of science.

Omg😹😹und jetzt?😹

I am now living a sad life, knowing I did not win the game of life because my seed will not be spread. It amazes me how Darwin analyzed my situation 200 years ago.
