Isn't chess for nerds or something?
All the cool people play shogi (the Japanese version, much cooler)

Chess is for people to pretend they are smart, when they are boring af (such as me)

Just to break the irony: I prefer shogi and don't play chess anymore to the extent where it freaks me out that pawns take pieces by moving diagonal and there are never pieces to drop. That are the most significant differences emotionally when I look at a diagram of a mate puzzle or something. Nevertheless I totally appreciate chess players. It's a cool hobby even tho it's not the coolest option out there.
