Chess is an expensive sport?

Recently, browsing sites on the Internet, I came across the forum, where the topic was very interesting. The theme of the man asked the question, what are not expensive sports. Curious… I thought, and apparently I’m not alone. We must pay tribute to the readers,different councils were very many.

One of them I even quote: “Chess. Very cheap! Bought a chess board and pieces are you and all costs”.

I confess that your reply me amused. But most of all surprised that most of the readers of the forum share this view!!!… In this case football can also be considered as not expensive sport – bought the ball and run around in the backyard, and dancing in general the most profitable sport turned on the radio and dance yourself all you want.

I think for users of the site Fenix-64 should clarify this issue. Arguing over the expensive sport chess or cheap, you need to clearly understand that chess can act as a hobby, entertainment or professional calling.

If chess for your Hobbies, then you are a fan and admirer of this game, you appreciate the game for its simplicity and at the same time inexplicable difficulty. For the Amateur chess will not expensive sport, unless it collects dear chess, for example chess sets from gold.

If you know how to play chess and once a month passed with friends at a party, then you chess games, and you are unlikely to sharpen their chess knowledge and gnaw granite chess science. And it is precisely at this to a greater extent the cost of professional chess players.

Therefore, with regard to the professional chess sport, then the costs will be completely different. But again, it depends on what to compare. Compared to Formula-1, where only the cost of equipment can be compared with the budget of a small country, then Yes, chess is really NOT expensive sport.
