Are chess players in general weird people?

How odd that crythias does not say what's wierd, only hints at the fact that wierdness and reason are diametrically opposed. I wonder how that squares with chess.

Anyway, I am not qualified to comment, being in the other set: 'twould be stretching the truth to call myself a "chessplayer" (I am more "patzer&quot😉, but I am probably quite wierd by many definitions, although not the one crythias hints at.

And, among many assumptions I had impressed, I forgot the set of weird people who are not chessplayers, because um. well... 1. Pa3
