Is chess evil?

Such as life is

It doesn't matter who use the sword; the sword is evil. The same, it doesn't matter who play chess; chess is evil (even not much, just a little bit). If Hitler hit Stalin in the head with flowers, that don't makes the flowers evil. It's not the persons who use the object who make it good or bad, the object itself is good or bad for the purpose it was made: flowers are good, chess is evil (even not much, but still..). Gopher, go and pollute other topic, please

I consider it moral disgust.

Idk, but they have the characteristics of venial sin.

chess is not evil its person how it plays it i developed evil chess style i develop that on 4 player chess team however same style playable on normal but its not efficiency because of limited chess piece and size of broad.  more chess pieces and big broad the better you can be creative and its easier  evil to play  

good  chess

the good player chess what most general title player plays 

going for long term strategic 

they attack  safely and do not take risk

defending  every threats and attacks 

playing for advantage of chess pieces and less position 

they are master in end game and end game tactics 

and takes hard work 

in simply word most passive player are good chess style

evil chess is dying in normal chess

going for shortcut getting advantage in short term great at finding loophole in position and approach at it

create traps for enemy and they are attackers 

they are gambler they play for positional and sacrifice marital to get positional if enemies survival with curse of attacks he win it but most of time he going to dying badly 

they are master in openings  , mid games and tactics 

its just depend on player skill any high level evil style can beat good style and vice verse 

why evil chess is dying because now all traps that where created no one fall into and most people study openings and all gambling lines but 960 showing new way to evil style

wait a minute what kind of debate is this? both sides of you quarrel about something that you play together, its like a husband having a smartphone forbids his wife to have a smartphone with saying smartphone is evil it can make a wife cheat and backstab his husband

Nice quote from my favorite chess player Tal.

Nikolai Krogius wrote a book called "The Psychology of Chess". In it he said that chess increases the net amount of unhappiness in the world. Is he wrong? I don't think so. To become really good at chess requires obsessiveness and produces far more anger than joy. As the old chess adage goes, the misery over a loss feels worse than the joy after a win. Look at how many elites in chess were either completely crazy or, more usual, total asses.

I've seen countless temper tantrums on TwitchTV where a loss of a game makes even GMs break their computing equipment. The Gordian Knot of chess is that obsessiveness is an unhealthy emotion but without obsessiveness a player has little chance of being even a mere master. It's a bottomless pit. Morphy was right: "The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life."
