>Chess is just a "mind sport" for schizophenic white dudes, it often draws people mad, because the true objective of the game is not to *win* but to predict what your opponent may be thinking and what he will do next. (Meta-Cognition).
Chessers are cool people whenever they're not South Asian academicbots. Lot of good Bobby Fischer quotes out there, and that Magnus grandmaster guy seemed to pop up in minor headlines for being self-destructive and pretentious (awesome). Chess was a real path towards upwards mobility in the Eastern Bloc, and a successful case of proletariatisation of the bourgeoise - which is about the best justification that the Soviet Union had for itself; that chess culture seems to have survived largely intact to this day, good for the random kids in Kazakhstan that make it out of their declining villages thanks to it. I like the serial killer doomsday-cult leader chessplayer character in Stalker OP-2.2, I'd like to use some of those distorted tapes as samples someday, that whole plotline escalates and subverts the mod where every minor and major character from the original games is intended to be kept alive or fakes their deaths multiple times quite nicely.
