Is the accepted wisdom that chess players are all chumps valid? you may have heard such terms as poindexter, dweeb or geek but the point remains. Can someone play this game and achieve social normality or indeed find a woman without using paypal? concider the worlds greatest players.

I know of at least 4 or 5 players in my state that are not dweebs/nerds/geeks.I have never been called any of those names. I am married and have 2 full grown kids. I play the guitar, among other instruments. I am no nerd, well ok, I have a degree in science. 😞
