My parents think i have a chess addiction and want me to quit chess, is that true?

That's wonderful. I wish you the best.

wonderful and not wonderful at the same time

Show your parents this thread and that might change there mind

ok

This kid is cool.

i don't think they will just based on some randoms on the internet's opinions but whatever

If you focus on chess (let's say to the detriment of school or relationships) then you'll have regrets later in life.

If you really love chess, but you're forced to focus on school or relationships or something else, then you'll also have regrets later in life.

Your parents understand this and make practical decisions for you... in most cases the kid isn't going to love chess for 20 years, and in most cases the regret over those other things is greater. ... so the best choice is to take away chess for now.

Knowing this sort of reasoning isn't going to make it a fun experience, but that's just how it is.

Umm... it would probably only prove to them that he's obsessed

so i should stop playing 4-6 hours of chess?

Cut it back to 3 hours max otherwise, your parents will make you stop playing

I think the practical thing is that kids do not play chess that much, yes.

IMO limiting your chess time is reasonable, or even taking away chess completely for a short time is reasonable.

ok i guess ima play 2-3 hours a day i guess

i anaylyze them and think what are his plans? why did he do those moves? whats the purpose? and its kinda hard to explain but i studied learned and played the english when i was in a losing streak and won my elo back

I'm confused. From your first post, it sounds to me that your parents have already issued the ultimatum. So if you play 2-3 hrs a day, you'll probably be grounded completely?

Why not study a bit more, get ahead for your grades, while also picking up some chess books and study those as well? Say three hours more of reading/study per day, and just three hours of chess (for now), with the studying completed FIRST. If they see you reading more, they may stop worrying about chess so much.

Likewise, if you do better on maths, you can always say it was chess and studying, and that maths is easy thanks to chess (but make sure you have the results to back that up).

Here is a resource to help your studying of chess: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/subject/1677

A friend reckons that with six hours a day you will make GM eventually, I'm just worried about your grades and that you will lose the time to play if you are punished. Avoid being punished, and good luck with your growth and development.

my grades are good only get like 75s or 70s on geometrey (cause geometerey is so hard) but for other maths i get 85s to 95s percent

i secretly play sometimes so yeah @escherehcsE and never got caught and never will

anayways i gtg to sleep kinda tired anyways and got school so bye everyone! will check this post tommrow

be careful with that as in the case that you do get caught then they will defiantly take the game away from you. Are you not supposed to be online right now?
