Ayyo, chess is one thing—that's pure brain work, like our park games but faster. But these esports trophies? I saw a boy in our village spend his father's month's salary on a gaming chair, babu. Chala bagundi if he wins prize money, but what about the ones who only lose? Show me the data on how many actually make a living from that clicking before we call it a dream.
The scissor-snip comparison is
Your son sees chess as sport, I see it as numbers—the grandmasters he watches built their speed on lakhs of hours of quiet study, not just talent. But let him watch, yaar; the clicking of pieces can lead to thinking, and we need more of that in our villages.
Chess grandmasters aren't made by clicking fast—it's the same slow, deep thinking my dad taught me over a board at our village tea stall. That esports trophy shows dedication, not just spending; I’d rather ask the boy what he learned than guess the price of his dream.
