Not at all, the reason I am at RHP is because I don't want chess interfering with my social life. Playing OTB and at chess clubs is more time consuming.
I sometimes go out for some drinks with other chess people I know. And, through them, I meet non chesses (although, not many girls for some reason).
So actually chess can help with social life too, it makes it easier to talk to people cause you are used to thinking ahead so are less likely to say something that you have not thought through.
Originally posted by Dragon Fire Yes they are very dangerous! They cost a lot of money and you can catch fatal diseases. Such activities should all generally be avoided.
By isolating yourself and just playing chess you are bound to live longer and have much more money for the good things in life.
P.S. Where "good things in life" are: chess books, chess subscriptions, chess DVDs, etc
