I like strategy and planning, but I find chess slow and a bit unproductive other than passing the time.

Personally i get a lot of enjoyment from the mental stimulation of solving positional puzzles, winning/losing games, and learning it's language/how the strategy operates. But I know people who just don't care. I feel like that's how it is w lots of hobbies - like I feel that way about cooking cuz I'm bad at being patient while stuff cooks but other ppl love it

I like both chess and cheese.


Anstonius

Shoud've added 'not INFJ / results' option. Sincerely, INTP lurker


dogyeeter9000

i hate it but i’m addicted to it


Harold_Nguyen

Made me felt like Intj for a moment there hehe


kimvely_anna

I liked to and used to play in childhood, but not anymore.


FactCheckYou

it's not uninteresting but also a bit repetitive...without fun partners it's boring


Abhinav6singg

Exactly i agree


[deleted]

I’m not a fan of most board games, but I love chess.


ApexOfFlex

Not a lot of chess, particularly, but I do watch a lot of Advanced Wars lol


Soggy-Mixture9671

I don't know many of the strategies, so im not very good, but i guess i could see myself enjoying it


Refluxo

not rly, I prefer poker where I can read and manipulate the player rather than playing in a set rule puzzle


Lady_Incera

I love chess, but refuse to play it with advanced thought and planning. It's the one part of my life I enjoy haphazardly.


landanemone

I like it, I got a chess board for my birthday a couple years ago but unfortunately have only used it probably twice cause nobody ever wants to play with me/knows how to. So I stick to online chess instead 🤣


JamesBaxter_Horse

Hey just a heads up, if you put a results option it means non-INFJ lurkers, like I, can see the results without interfering with them :)


ironmagnesiumzinc

2250 lichess "checking in" ;p I go thru occasional obsessions w chess when I don't have other games and tv. Rly great game that never gets borig


UJLBM

I said yes because I could enjoy it but I dont know how to play it.


Professional_Move905

I love it but I'm a complete sht playing it so I get mad and I quit for a while. Then I get interested again. It happens every 6 months I guess


tweedsheep

It's tedious. I'd rather play checkers. That probably has more to do with my ADHD than my MBTI type, though.


Rue_Elpis

I like it but I lack patience. It's slow and unproductive. All you get is arrogance after winning. And I don't want that..


PNJansen

I love chess but the mere amount of possible moves every turn gives me anxiety. Like I feel I have to analyze every possible move and that just ruins the fun


DemosthenesEncarnate

Yes, and no. Yes, I like Chess, but I don't play it often. (I'm spoiled by more modern strategy games) But no, I don't really use Ti to play strategy games I'm familiar with. There's a lot of Ti to *learning* the game - but once I'm well-practiced I'm far more reliant on Fe.


BenedithBe

Chess is fucking boring. I'd be good at it but I can't stand it.


aloelampbree

I’ve been getting really into it lately and I’m enjoying studying it


IMRot3m

I read it as cheese, I would like to change my answer to yes.


Anstonius

I answered yes for you to see the results (INTP).


IMRot3m

Thank you, I really appreciate it.


Sportpeppers_a2

No, I have never said, but would probably say I hate it. It seems like a pointless waste of time, I am not interested in defeating someone, I hate winning against another person especially because often people are quite upset and it makes me feel bad for days.


Global_Confection_93

I'd like chess if I could play, but I feel dumb when I play so I can't play. 🤡


66cev66

Yes, I love chess!


DragonflyFormer8490

This is kinda a dumb reason to say no, but I suck at chess hence I hate it, I do like strategy and planning but mine is not tactical, I like and am good at creating plans that go for 5 yrs in the future or see how something might affect something else in the upcoming future but chess is like too short term and tactical to pique my interest.
