Likely the same people who spend endless days and weeks staring into their phones while stumbling out in front of traffic.

Nothing interesting about shooting people in games.The interesting thing is that they shoot you and you have to survive.

👍 I like your answer, someone says chess is boring, you ask them define boring please.

Instead of answering or proving them something why chess is not boring, you are just switching tempo and now it's his turn to move lol nice one

Good example of gaining tempo 😉

 Another good one is "i guess you haven't heard of intelligence, or using your brain."

 

So if a person does not enjoy watching chess it means that he is not intelligent or does not use brain? 

I think you are the one who should start using the brain a bit more. 

 

What would I tell to someone who say chess is a boring game? 

I would say that indeed chess can be boring sometimes, but once you start learning and understanding some things it can become interesting. Being said that, it is just a board game so no big deal after all.

Pashak, I agree.
I hope ginger ninja didn't tell that to anyone.

if someone said 'chess is a boring game' to my face ,knowing i'm a chess player, then i'd assume they were insulting me based on my interest in the so called 'boring' game . if someone said 'chess is a boring game to me' then they're telling that they'd  probably wouldn't like to play chess with me because of the lack of interest they had in the game. also people can't say 'chess is a boring game' as that is bad logic. many people enjoy the game and therefore how can it be boring if many people enjoy it. This logic does not apply to those who said 'chess is a boring game to me' because it's they're stating their personal opinion.

so if someone is just using bad logic then it's fair to say that they're not using their brain because of their bad logic and added with the fact they're intention was to insult. me then they deserve to be called thick as i've done nothing to them

Nobody has ever said 'chess is boring' to me.

The trick is to avoid boring people.

Pfff, stop being so sensitive. 

I know it is now a mode worldwide to decide to get offended by anything but seriously stop being a little child. "Oh if someone tells me that chess is a boring game knowing that I am a chess player I would be offended". Well if you are offended because someone does not like one of your hobbies then you seriously need to work a lot on your character.

Some people think plants & nature are boring, I'd say to them the World would be dull without them, it's the difference between just looking, & actually seeing & understanding wink.png

How can intellectual exercise be boring?  I feel sorry for anyone who thinks so.

WeakChessPlayedSlow
It is. I enjoy it somewhat, but it objectively is. I wouldn't argue with this "some people" we're talking about.
