this is hilarious! most of those guys look like they are borderline homeless.
Chess is easy, playing chess well is HARD!!! That's why it's never really quite gone mainstream with the proles
Same with GO, although GO has gained some popularity because the rules are simpler with strategies being extremely deep.
I'm okay with chess being where it is. It's stood up to the test of time and I'm confident that it will continue to do so. The sort of people that consider chess for "nerds" are the sort of people with whom I don't care to hang out with.
