Instead of dancing or playing the guitar?
Or getting drunk or going to church.

My dad is a chess player - and very good...
What I connect with chess therefore relates back to my early childhood: Endless failure, players are very intelligent and have excellent concentration spans and self-control, you can bore them so much by playing badly and slowly that you have a chance to win 1 game in about 35 (unless they have fallen asleep before you have finished them off),....
Do I need to continue?

Playing Chess comes at the top of that list!!
In fact the order you've put it is about right. What have you got against chess? Its a perfectly acceptable game of logic. I'm rubbish at it, but wish I was better.

I can play chess, and won bronze medal on one of the tournaments here. But that was when I was 13 years old.

I don't know. I like chess myself, although I'm not too good at it. I don't see why one can't have more than one activity. I know a guy who plays the guitar and is in a local band. He also is really good at chess and at poker, too.
I don't really get your question...............

I respect someone who plays chess. it takes patience, and smarts.
that is if it is added to a range of activities, It rounds them out.
if they play chess only, and thats all they do,
or if there is any one activity that someone does and thats all, I feel that maybe they are hiding behind that.
its like the food we eat.
I enjoy certain foods, but I eat a wide range.
one food over and over would get dull, no matter how good it is.
