Oh. I thought you were talking to me for a second. Do you get my reference to the shadow?

DarkstormEliteHydra
Absolutely
DarkLord834

That's nice! I don't know many people who have heard of the Shadow (except my friends, who I indoctrinated)

DarkstormEliteHydra
Oh. It seemed pretty obvious to me
DarkLord834

That just makes you a very awesome and intelligent person.

DarkstormEliteHydra
Thank you!

You are welcome. I think that if chess is evil, it is a necessary evil in which everyone should partake.

DarkstormEliteHydra
But think about it. A lot of evil things aren’t entirely obvious at first.
DarkstormEliteHydra
I bet if chess is evil no one has found any clear evidence. It IS only a board game.
DarkstormEliteHydra
Not that a board game can’t be evil...

Like a ouija board?

DarkstormEliteHydra
Exactly
YesPromise

The evidence is personal. The clarity. Though, those who has found it are not playing chess anymore, I assume.

The Tal quote makes no sense to me.

Chess is an evil game like Spirit of the Glass. In Ancient times, it is used to predict the outcome of the war.

Chess is worse than gambling. In gambling you gamble money. In chess you gamble your ego, pride, self esteem.

You can also gamble money in chess. And shots! "Each time I capture one of your pieces you have two drink, two shots if is the Queen"

And last but not least sheep and cows. I know of a guy who lost a cow over a game of chess.

Chess has never harmed me in my 5 years of playing it, therefore it is UNLIKELY to be evil.
