Interesting tidbit I guess but this Excel pie chart isn’t beautiful data…
Data source: a poll on reddit, [https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/1qdw0yd/do_you_have_a_chess_board/](https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/1qdw0yd/do_you_have_a_chess_board/)
Where does it say they just think of chess as another game on their phone? It could be only on your phone, but you still consider it to be a special game for various reasons, eg history, depth of competition.
„25% of chess players“
„Source: a poll on reddit“
There could be plenty of people who play over the board at school/uni, chess club, other places but don’t have a board at home.
I went to a chess meetup after playing online for a while and it took me wayyyyy too long to set up the board!!
You cannot say at all that people who don’t have a chess board „consider chess just another game on their phone“. That wasn’t part of the question, you cannot infer emotional meaning or sentiment from a simple factual question about the ownership of a physical object.
I didn’t own a physical board until I was 1500. I still took it very seriously and never considered it a video game.
„25% of people on r/chess who responded to my poll don’t own a chessboard, and I unsubtly judge them for what I think that means.“
