EVERYONE SAID THAT IT IS A BAD IDEA

Answer 4

IT WAS 5 MONTHS AGO

Answer 5

And?

Answer 6

Were you shot down?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Maybe it was because they thought it wouldn't really be used that much and would just become a dead subject. :P

Answer 9

OS has a large chess community...

Answer 10

I KNOW

Answer 11

Ay, just a theory :P

Answer 12

I doubt he'd be willing to devote enough time to that.. :(

Answer 24

Uhm, I s'pose we have a music section cuz people do take music lessons/courses. They might want feedback on something musical they did or help on some music questions.

Answer 25

That I did not know.

Answer 33

And we could make awesome titles too lol

Answer 34

yeah

Answer 35

World Champion

Answer 36

Actually, I don't really mind this being a section, I do concern myself the consistency of the proposition, and this not being for personal satisfaction.

Answer 37

Chess Expert

Answer 38

"Checkmater"

Answer 39

lol

Answer 40

well it would not be for playing

it will be for questions

Answer 41

lol

Answer 42

Nevertheless, I honestly think Chess would be an active and relatively large subject.

Answer 43

In fact, I have a chess workbook with tactic lessons, and sometimes I struggle, and I can't find anyone to help me.

Answer 44

@Jaynator495 can you make a chess section ? lol

Answer 45

I doubt he has enough time. :(

Answer 46

I mean this is education and chess is a game :/

Answer 47

Music could be interpreted as non-educational, yet we have a section for that... -.-

Answer 48

Depends on how you define education.

Answer 49

Uhm, then why do I have a course for Music? XD

Answer 50

music is not education

Answer 51

Can you explain how this will benefit OpenStudy?

Answer 52

Well i took a music class for a little and all we did was describe the types of music etc

Answer 53

Academia is the milieu of an institute that creates and excercises knowledge, music is indeed a section of academia.
Chess on the other hand is a board game.

Answer 54

Well I s'pose Music is kinda educational cuz if you wanted to be say a piano player, you'd have to learn how to read notes and such. :P

Answer 55

@pooja195 I already did. I honestly think Chess would be an active and relatively large subject. It could bring people who need help with chess to OpenStudy, because I definitely have some friends in my chess league who need help.

Answer 56

how is music benefit to os?

Answer 57

Well its a board game bug :/ it will only teach you to move your pond up

Answer 58

Education, in my opinion, is preparing for a skill later in life.

Answer 59

bud*

Answer 60

The thing is this site is meant for homework help
@AlexandervonHumboldt2 music allows users to show/project their talent. People post music questions too :)

Answer 61

There are definitely people who aspire to be world famous chess players.

Answer 62

people can post chess questions too

Answer 63

Its like if we have a basketball section then, it will teach you communication but still not really educational.

Answer 64

Another section that can be debated is Computer Science.

Answer 65

Once again this site is for hw help. And HELP only. Playing games is not educational.

Answer 66

I have chess homework, pooja.

Answer 67

I wouldn't implement this onto the site it would distract users and keep them from helping users who need help.

Answer 68

Computer science is a great subject where users can share code and learn. CS is needed for users like me who want a better understand of the ever so changing technology around us @malcolmmcswain

Answer 69

By the way, I have studied music and it is quite well grounded when it comes to theory.

Answer 70

I am not doubting that all of these are great subjects.

Answer 71

The fact that people use it to post draft of lyrics and useless questions is another matter.

Answer 72

There are actual courses for Computer Science. My older brother is a techy and he took that in I think High school, he's in College now for Network security I believe. So I'd understand why they would have a subject for that, in case people had some questions about it.

Answer 73

I have courses for chess. So do a lot of people.

Answer 74

That's new. What class is it for?

Answer 75

Course for chess, like an actual class?

Answer 76

Have you guys never heard of a chess class? I literally just came from one about 30 minutes ago. -.- We study tactics, and how to become a better player, and we receive homework.

Answer 77

Well no because chess is more of an activity then a class tbh

Answer 78

We even have a chess textbook, full of problems such as:

How do you checkmate in two moves from this position.

Which piece is pinned?

So on and so forth.

Answer 79

I have never heard of an actual chess class. My school has a chess CLUB never heard of an actual class. Now sure how you can have chess hw ;p

Answer 80

Tips can be given in the chats :P

Answer 81

I do have homework. Chess CLASS, not clubs are actually quite popular where I live.

Answer 82

Interesting.

Answer 83

Yes, its probably a chess club or outside school thing but not in-side school thing @malcolmmcswain why would a school waste money on a activity class instead of something beneficial.

Answer 84

@jagr2713 chess is not a waste of money lol im just saying its not needed on this site

Answer 85

Same here, i play chess to but i mean in school system like an actual class

Answer 86

^ yes agreed

Answer 87

I am not lying when I say the following:

I used to go to a chess class after school when I went to a BRICK AND MORTAR school.

Answer 88

An actual private school in the school system.

Answer 89

Some people actually choose a chess-related profession.

Answer 90

I go to a public school BRICK AND MORTAR school. We have a chess club but not a class.

Answer 91

Well your school is different, not all schooling systems are the same

Answer 92

Pooja

Answer 93

Answer me this

Answer 94

I think having a Chess section on Openstudy is a great idea.

Answer 95

If having chess is so useless,

How is LaTeX any better? How does it benefit the site? How is it educational?

Answer 96

We have a LaTeX section...

Answer 97

It's clearly for fun. I mean, it has a smiley face right next to it...
