I've recently been playing alot of chess and my parents hate it, my parents said that I have to quit chess or else I'm grounded with everything. my parents say this because I play lots of chess and they say chess is taking over me. true it is but in a good way, I love chess and don't know what to do! how do I convince my parents to let me play chess? any advice would help. and i also play 4 hours of chess on school days and 5-6 hours of chess on the weekends

Show them the benefits of chess like mental stimulation and then convince them it makes your smarter 🤣

There was a study done on kids in Venenzuala that showed that chess grew there iq. Let me find it then show it to your parents

Take up drinking and smoking and chasing women.

When you quit those and start playing chess they'll be thrilled! tongue.png

Honestly my parents sometime say the same. At a young age being completely obsessed with chess isn't that good for your development in other areas.
