Chess is only "bad for your brain" if you use it as a crux for some other issue you may be struggling with in life. But on its own, chess has got to be the ultimate scrummage of your brainy might. To recap: Chess is good - use it wisely!

Playing chess leads to double posting.

Oh, woollencat (it's clear you're not a "sock"), I never knew cats needed corrective lenses (Lemons and grapefruits are both yellow, but they're very different in size.  (myopia? astigmatism? -- you could get help with that.)
