Why does Russian love chess?

[Inoue]

Computer is superior to human in chess. Why does Russian continue to play chess. Incidentally why does Russian call chess as "chess"?
Why does not chess becomes olympic game?

Why do the Dutch like wooden shoes?
Why do Americans like baseball?
Why do the Italians like pasta?

They just DO!

[Anna-London]

Not all of them and not even most of them. Myths and stereotypes.

That is what I was going for with my post. I just took the roundabout way. :)

theres a saying in english: are yor shore yor pore
i mean are yor shore yor english is porr

[Anna-London]

Nina,
Italians do like their pasta - most of them... As for Americans and baseball, it is definitely not the same as Russians and chess because only a brainy minority of Russians play chess (isn't this the case everywhere?) while the love affair between Americans and baseball is associated with an entirely different population stratum...

Anna
Maybe, but the point is the same. Not ALL Americans like baseball. In fact, far from all of us like it.
