    Chess is bad because billionaire Rex Sinquefield, who the cup is named for, is spending ungodly amounts of money on 2 things:

    1.) Chess

    2.) Trying to turn Missouri into AnCapistan. Dude is very ideologically committed to libertarianism and funds a lobby group / "think tank" called the Show Me Institute to that end.
