Chess for educated ppl

I certaintly think it does. Look at footballers. You know why the game is so popular? Because its a good game AND its cheap to buy a football. If Im right, people who are poor, they aren't educated properly thus they argue at the referee saying UCK UCK. I cant even imagineMagnus Carlsen or Gary Kasparov doing such things.

Chess for me at least has been a cheap hobby. A clock, a set, and a board didn't set me back anything, they were all gifts. 🙂

If you are saying having a PHD in math is an advantage in chess play, you're wrong IMO
I used to maul one of the local math profs. He played ok, but had no idea of standard theory etc.

that's the most idiotic comparison i've ever heard.

there is no ref in chess, there's a board, 32 pieces and the rules are clear. soccer and football on the other hand have human referees who make human errors and it's well within the rights of the player to complain if the ref makes a mistake. plus in tournament otb chess were there is some sort of arbitrator i'm sure it's not uncommon that xe is called in to sort out a dispute between two players.

Wrong, again. His or her name is Conscience (as in honor and integrity, and

the courage to engage in a noble struggle with norms and standards intact).

That can't be true, you follow him around like a little puppy wagging its tongue, or should that be tail. 😛

I think that player was traded to Hoboken. A direct result of the red carding.
