Chess and cigarettes

I saw a video on TikTok of an Indian man who noticed that many in his village were idle and spent their time drinking and smoking.

So he started teaching chess, and many quit their addiction and switched to playing the game.

I'll do the same, keep my mind busy playing and studying games. (I'll become the next Bobby Fisher)

This is a cool idea. I'll download a chess app for when I'm on the go; and play solo chess against the AI when I'm at home. I did something like this with Legos and it helped; it's just that the sets I wanted were out of my budget. My chess board is dusty, so this will be a reason to bring it out.
