why doyou play chess

Chess has been around for 1,000 years and one billion answers are possible. You can play chess for any reason.i didn't like to get to curios. I mean i almost forgot why i got into chess
 why i got into chess. it was a friend 

so put answers down below i'm curious

why not?

🤔to pass the time

I dont play chess nowadays

so i can destroy anyone who crosses my path

I enjoy the problem solving side of chess, and all the strategy compared to other games.

It's fun.

I like to play chess because I am a great fan of bashing my head against a brick wall and this makes for an alternative method of causing similar pain.

very funny

Mental exercise and to challenge myself.

To waste time

idk

according to my dad I was already ~800-1200 strength as soon as i started and I learned quickly apparently so I like it cuz its literally the only thing im good at lol

I just like the puzzles.

I wish I liked puzzles. I hate them unless the solution is easily seen.
