Do you play Chess?
PrevNode LinkNextI do not play Chess a lot, mainly because I do not like it too much. I'm also not a very good Chess player, but one should hopefully not avoid doing something just because they are bad at it.
Some anecdotes regarding my experience with Chess enthusiasts are:
Someone on IRC told us that he thinks everyone should be forced to play Chess (in a true authoritarian fashion in my opinion). This is while I recall reading that in South Africa during the Apartheid, people of Black descent were legally forbidden from playing Chess.
I once agreed to play Chess with an online friend online. After the game was over, he analysed my play, which I found annoying and made me reluctant to play again (and felt like beating a dead dog), but perhaps I should have told him that.
