Man! I haven't played a good game of chess in years... Shoot, I haven't even played chess in years. Might be time to dust off the board, call my brother up and have him take me to school with it. Love the game but could never find decent people to play against with the attention span to finish a match in a single sitting. Pretty much the only person to do that is the same person who taught me how to play the game.
Athletic sports, though? Basketball and soccer, or what non-Americans call football. I'm not big on spectator sports... if I'm not playing/competing then sports are wholly disinteresting to me. Something about investing my emotional well-being into the performance of a group of people that I've got no control over whatsoever... Seems like it's just another gateway for unnecessary stress into my life. Plus, that shit is boring.
Strangely enough, the one sport I even contemplate watching is soccer/international football. The slow scoring doesn't bother me and the games, to me, seem more fast-paced than most other sports I'm familiar with. I'll check out pivotal NBA games sporadically throughout the season but I'm definitely not a fan of any particular teams of any sport.
