You cannot say, 'Go! Go! Rah! Rah! Good move!' People want some emotion. Chess is an art and not a spectator sport.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally - you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.
Chess only appeals to quite a small minority. It does not have the cachet of a mainstream popular sport.
I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.
Chess is intellectual gymnastics.
Chess is changing. I hope chess is getting more popular, more spectacular.
Chess is life.
Chess is mental torture.
The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.
Chess has given me a lot more than I could ask for. I have been able to feel special, travel the world and do what I truly enjoy. Moreover, chess players love being their own boss and hate having to wake up early!
Chess is a sport. The main object in the game of chess remains the achievement of victory.
