In my opinion the game of chess has no age, anyone can play chess, that's the beauty of it.

I always walk in the park, and old people always play chess there! But I've never seen teenagers play.

old people have already taken the tables at the parks, young/other people have to play chess at some other location

I don't think chess is tied to age either, there are different ages of people who play it, but it's one thing in itself and everyone has their own interest. I never learned chess but my son used to learn it at school and also took part in tournaments.

Chess is pretty popular to play on mobile Apps. I'd imagine most people playing chess outside would be a lot older.

I always walk in the park, and old people always play chess there! But I've never seen teenagers play. I love to play since I was a kid and I still do. Does this mean that the game is not interesting for young people and why?

I don't think, for me chess is for any age, even when I was younger I played a lot of chess in school

The vast majority of players I compete against online are younger than me, so no: Chess is an activity which brings enjoyment for every age group.

it’s just that not everyone likes games with complete information, in chess, for example, such an element as a bluff is completely absent and the luck factor is of minimal importance there, but in general this game is for all ages

i think we can say chess and poker can go hand in hand, both needs a clear mind and strategy, there's a lot to learn from chess

 

[Normino]

definetly not anymore since that netflix series came out over 1 million people have joined chess.com

 

[XsMALsX]

[Luvart]

For sure not.

Chess is a mental game for all people. And to be honest, the younger you start, the better at this game.
