I don’t think it’s chess they are having an issue with. Although, I still don’t see why taking a break for a quick game of basketball to clear my head classifies as “repulsive” and a “chillul Hashem”. Following sports and going to games is one thing, but having fun in a good clean way (well, in a manner of speaking…if you *ahem* are acquainted with deodorant) and exercising in the process…? My friend, that is going far. Too far.
