It attracts beta males because it's a game of escapism with nothing to lose on the line. It's a safe, convenient way for them to pretend that they're out in the world, actually getting something done with their lives. It's just delusional, actually. Alpha males with true intellect would never spend their limited time on earth on something that equates to nothing. Naturally. 

This is true of any 'leisure activity', that is to say all sports and games. How many truly good tennis players are there in the world who can make a proper living from the game, and put money away for a rainy day? There are probably more chess professionals making a decent living out of chess than there are tennis players making a living out of tennis. Those who actually make it, as a proportion of those who try, is very low in any sport. It's just so happens that athletes in American football, soccer, ice hockey, tennis, golf etc are much more visible than chess players. I honestly fail to see how this makes them more or less alpha or beta male. Arguably, you are mad for trying to make money from a hobby instead of finding yourself a real, steady job.


 

What on earth are you talking about? I don't, nor ever did, try to make money from Chess LOL. Look at my ratings, Dude. Jfc. I'm the guy who actually leaves the house and does make a living. The beta males are the ones who sit at home working on their chess game. Of course.

You quite clearly misunderstood my comment ...

nakamura was probably bullied because he was a fat kid and now, chess is something he takes pride in because he feels powerful like those bullies which vindicates his attitude.

Heck, the place wasn’t even on any map, nor did it have a name.

suddenly the sound of spurs coming closer is heard.

the door flings open and a bloke smoking a cigar is standing there.

silence for 2 minutes. finally he speaks.

”chess anyone ?”

LOL!!!

Weinstein is in prison for a very long time. 

the testimony of the complainant and witnesses don't sound to me as if they will make out the top charge.  not by a long stretch.  I'm having a hard time understanding why Manhattan D.A. brought the case.

weinstein sounds like a raging a@#h"le, but the cross examination destroyed the prosecution's witnesses.  all the affectionate messages and overtures from the victims towards Weinstein after the fact of the supposed crime create a reasonable doubt about his guilt.  so far, anyways.

ginzbirdman

not to mention the circumstances of the crime.  this was not quaaludes in young ladies' drinks.
