Why Do You Play Chess

I'll start.

I play chess because it stops my rusty 40+ brain from getting any rustier - and because I love the game even though I'll never get much better (just see some of my recent losses!).

What's your reason.

for fun.

I have to agree with Flowers, it is fun. Chess is something one can play with friends. Unfortunately for me, none of my friends play chess. (:

Trying to be a master in future. Never for fun. I'm trying very hardly.

Yeah, I too am hardly trying.

 

I play because it makes my muscles big and improves my chances with the ladies.

Wrestling? you know my (other) secret!? If the WWE find out about my chess-playing activities I'll be labelled a wuss! Shhhh!

Why do I play chess... lol very easy for me to answer. I play for the women, the money, and the renown ;) LOL as if... eh? No, I play chess because it challenges my mind.

I think it's the most fun mental workout there is. If computer games were as mentally demanding as chess I probably wouldn't play chess.

I play chess because I have delusions that one day I will be very good at it!

Avatar of cryptic_cave

I work, train and play in chess diligently because it is recreating a whole new brain inside of my skull. This allows me to deal with things differently. I become more efficient. My engagement with all around me is stepped up to enhanced realms of being. I relate to things in a more multi dimensional way.

Because the voices in my head say they'll kill me if I stop.

Lmao.. Some of these posts are so funny!   I play because smart people play chess! It's so amusing watching them plot against me! Laughing

Why not?  Seriously, I remember seeing a chessboard and rules in a hardback copy of Hoyle's book of games.  That was when I was in 7th grade or so.  I am now 50+ and I still enjoy the game.  And, like the rest here, I am still striving to improve my game.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

I play chess because I get to move little horseys around.

The head of your chess club is named Lear by any chance?
