This news captured my attention. (English equivalent: here). A 16 year old Chinese girl vs a world champion and just lost 1 game out of 6 (and able to draw 5 games). Amazing amazing.
I also discovered the New York Times chess blog. There is a java chess viewer there! Good stuff! It is impossible for me to appreciate a sequence like this: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6... I need pictures.
SO WHAT if you are good at chess? Think it is just some useless mental gladiatorship?
Hmm, SO WHAT if you can dunk a basketball for 2 points or push away all the heavyweight guys and reach the touchdown line? So what if you can swing a piece of metal and put a ball into 18 holes with fewer strokes than others?
Just do the sports and play the games you enjoy.
