not necessarily. yes, if you play to much then it can become addictive but a little bit cant hurt anything.

It sounds like you are commenting just by the title here, this is a beautiful article explaining how chess is good for the mind so stop the negativity! Crown Heights has alot of learning going on AFTER cheder, kol hakovod to the organizers who make it exciting for the yingelech to be part of. i am not far from crown heights, i do visit regularly, it is a pleasure to see the chayus in my einiklech. and there is alot of places where learning is going on for the yungeleit , alte leit, so kol hakovod and stop the bashing

רחמנות עליכם שאין לכם מה לעשות, אתם בטח שוברים את הראש מה לעשות כדי שהילדים יראו שהערב זה ניתל…. בקיצור תעשו מה שאתם עושים כל יום.

vidio games are adictive and posinous

There are many studies that show video games are addictive and poisonous to the mind. Ie causes adverse effects to learning and doing matzos. Dr. Shonebuch just held a lecture on this a few weeks ago to parents in Oholai Torah.

Video Games

Forget chess, video Games are the best Nittel Nacht activity. you work on your eye hand coordination, which is very important. And you learn valuable lessons, like honor, persistence, and courage.
