..flummoxed?? Strange choice of a word. I was delighted when my son took up, chess when he was seven years old. I think chess should be something that is taught in school, alongside music, art, and history.
Art, music, and history have some relevance to life, but chess does not.
Depends on who you ask. For people who play chess, it is art and it has great relevance. The fact you're commenting on this shows it.
I feel sorry for people who play chess -- especially those who devote their lives to it.
Why -- because you spend your free time in a much more useful and productive manner?
