  9. I already told you people. Gamers that want appreciation should go to Chung-ak, and be considered as an athlete. Done.

  10. It's not really an athlete if anything athletes require to do physical active in this case it doesn't mean moving your fingers around massing buttons if anything gamin is more of a hobby

  11. Chess is a sport deal with it. Gaming however is not a sport yes you get paid but it is a profession. Just because it is a tournament does not make it a sport but simply a friendly (sometimes) competition.

  13. Chess has been around for centuries.  It's play competitively worldwide and there are tournaments. Classes are taught in schools on it. It requires deep thought and strategy if you play it at a competitive level.

    You don't see that with Connect 4 or StarCraft. You see those at a family's dining room table with root beer floats. 

  16. Chess was played by kings so it's pretty badass.

  17. StarCraft and those nerdy realtime strategy games require a lot of planning ahead and whatever. Same as chess.
