5 Things Only Chess Players Will Understand
If you’ve ever spent hours staring at a chessboard, thinking ten moves ahead, this one’s for you. Here are five things that only true chess players really get.
1. Seeing Everything in Life as a Strategy
Grocery shopping? Parking your car? You’re already thinking five steps ahead. It’s not overthinking—it’s just how you’re wired.
2. Mentally Moving Pieces in Your Head
You’ve caught yourself imagining pawn moves or visualizing knight jumps while waiting in line or zoning out during a meeting. It’s part of the lifestyle.
3. Defending Your Favorite Opening Like It’s a Family Member, if
someone criticizes your go-to opening, well it’s personal. You’ll gladly debate the pros and cons of the London System or Caro-Kann any day.
4. Rage Quitting After a Blunder, Only to Start a New Game 5 Minutes Later
We’ve all been there. You close the tab or flip the board, swear you’re done with chess forever… then open a new game five minutes later like nothing happened.
5. Explaining En Passant Again… and again… and Again
Try explaining en passant to a non-chess player without sounding crazy. It’s one of those rules that feels made-up until you actually pull it off.
If you can relate to even one of these, you’re definitely part of the chess community. And if you’re looking to show off your love for the game in style, check out our chess-inspired apparel collection.
