I love it because it makes me feel smart. When I land a fork on somebody who doesn't know that trick, they call me a genius. Makes me feel good.
Its so satisfying when you lose a bunch of consecutive games and then win one

its fun
I love it because I can play it "alone" without being bothered by *cringes*...people.
the unpredicatability of the game, the elegance of a well-played tactic, and the entertainment here at chess.com.
+1 on alex. well-said.
I like the idea that I am just totally obsessed in something that is a complete waste of time.
Because it challenges me and connects me to others. I could travel to the other side of the world without being able to speak a single word of their language and be able to sit down a play a game with a person and connect with them because of it.

Because chess chose me ( just kidding !!! )
It's a game that requires intelligence and dedication

Chess is the best waste of time ever invented.

Bobby Fischer once said, "You can only get good at chess if you love the game." but why do you love chess?
