How do you play chess????!!!!?

Answer 1

There's actually a product in stores (I know Barnes & Noble sells it) called "No Stress Chess". Not only is it a Chess set, but it comes with a deck of cards with the pieces on them, which tell you how to move them. By playing this variation, with the cards telling you what to move and how, it helps new players jump right in and start playing, without having to memorize all the detailed rules before you start. I think this is a great product to teach new players. And no, I don't work for the company that makes it. :)

Answer 2

No, by the way the cognitive benefits of playing chess is corroborated fact, a simple google search will reveal the abundant research papers on it. How ironic that this fool "prisoner in this world" claims this absurd, it does not take much contemplation to realize that a game greatly demanding intellectual effort (in the form of reason) will have cognitive effects. Further, consider the corollaries that are entailed from this absurd argument against chess on a warrant that it is absorbing or time consuming. Surely then anything, excluding practice of Islamic nature, should be haram as everything is time consuming and almost all forms of leisure are further absorbing too. It must be stressed that the Hadith on chess are to be taken "*** grano salis" for if chess was compared to games of gambling then surely the suggestion is that its use was of this nature not that it is somehow unwarrantably equivalent to gambling.
