The stodginess of chess has been a real turn off to my teenager. When he and his friends play over the board there is trash talk and laughing, jaw busting stuff. They rag on each other for blunders and punctuate every move with "braaah," which, I'm told, is a sound adolescent males make when enjoying activities.
His take on official over the board tournament play? No fun.
Chess's ebb and flow has the game in a popular moment. We should be attracting more players instead of dredging up culture war nonsense. Keep the game fun.
