i'll always be suspicious of white people who are Really Into Chess. i played chess as a kid with my grandfather, got to highschool, tried to play chess club, and as soon as i started getting hit with "you're not even counter with the Scloflovian opening? playing against you is a waste of my time..." and everyone had the personality of Machiavellian anime villain i left the hobby forever.
Go is much more chill. Definitely some Weebs in it but its a game that takes like at minimum 90 mins for a full size game. I think the kinda patience that requires cuts down on Weirdness.
