One of the things I love about chess is all of the twists and turns and emotions involved. I always try to sell people on game they always tell me, "I don't have the patience for chess," and yet these are the people who can sit perfectly still and stare at a screen for 2 1/2 hours during a movie.
I try to tell that chess can be action packed, dramatic and even scary just like a movie. Only in chess you're not watch someone else fight in a war or get in a car chase - it's featuring you!
Why is this concept so hard to impress upon people? A side note - can a game of chess also be funny?
