My friends discovered I play chess

Well I don't see why you would keep something like this bottled in.
If your friends are causing you stress, it is best you get it off of your chest.
Tell them how you feel.
If they push you around, stand up to them!
Keeping this inside is the worst thing you can do.
I managed to keep the secret for years. They are the kind of guys who spend their time playing Gta, drinking beer and making burp contests. Know they discovered my secret and dont stop bullying me. What should I do?
1. Appeal to their sense of pity
Tell them your wife left you.

2. Scare them off by showing how gangsta you really are.
Show them your tattoo.

3. Beat them at their own game.
Eat a load of peanuts and show them a burping contest isn't where it's at.

Btw if your friends laugh at you for playing chess challenge them to a game, they'll shut up when you beat them.
