Dont get me wrong, theres nothing bad with playing chess, but its just a game and
playing chess doesnt give super cow powers.
Being active does train our creativity, brains and muscles. Questionable if boxing or
playing chess, is the more active ?exertion.
Theres also nothing bad with inland water fishing. Also called a sport, but a sport with
being less active.
The rule is: ?You snooze, you lose. Its not important what we like to do, its
important that we do something.
Listening to music A isnt better, than listening to music B. Doing X isnt better than
doing Y. Where do all this claims come from?
Some people playing chess are creative others arent, it has less to do with playing
chess.

And it aways was called a "sport" :D. And often it's claimed that all
highly gifted people play chess :D.
Perhaps done by people who like to play chess and who wish to be
artists, wish to be sportsman and wish to be highly gifted ;).
Since I love playing chess I should probably feel insulted, but as
the description kinda suits me, well, who am I to complain?
