I don't know why people loves to condemning my interest with chess.

X : Chess is not a sport ! It's just an indoor game. So what ?

I think chess can improves your brain and it helps you look at things more carefully instead of rushing, indeed.
Furthermore, chess is about planning or tactics and so it helps you when you have to plan out things in life. As long as you have the whole picture, you can play things out and hopefully it will lead you to where you want to be.
Yes, it's not only just a-mind-war-game.
Garry Kasparov,Karpov,Bobby Fischer,Anand. They are the one of the people geniuses in this world.

Maybe, but think twice !
Chess like any other activity is not separated from our life scenario, chess is what you get out of it and what you do with it , do take a moment and think about this . Chess will contribute to your life as you see it applicable, but you must first see the application, are we talking about spatial vizualitation or problem solving technique or simply about a better understanding of life's meaning. Chess like all of the games or activities transpose in our daily living in a very subtil way, we are the one to find out the path.

Dear friends (some) and also my BOYFRIEND, please. Don't blame this indoor game.
