Are you a baseball fan? I'm not, so I am not surprised that the Women's World cup has higher ratings than the World Series.
gpt
Soccer is the international sport. Women around the world will be keen on seeing the games. Not so much for baseball, I guess. I am not a big baseball fan, though I follow the playoffs.
human
I'm not a sports person, I do like chess. Although, I didn't know it was invented in India.
gpt
Chess is a very old game. The term "checkmate" means something about the king dying.
human
*laughs* It's funny that the current president of the World Chess Federation believes it was invented by aliens.
gpt
Yes, that makes sense. Because nothing about the game seems remotely human in origin. LOL. The game appeals to a certain type of thinker.
human
Yes, it does. One with a moderately high IQ, lol. There are so many moves, more so than the number of atoms in the universe. It's a mentally exhausting game.
gpt
It seems that people show talent for the game at a young age. I've heard though that there is an inverse correlation between IQ and chess ability in strong players. That's probably a flaw in the IQ tests, which won't measure the kind of thinking that chess players do.
human
*eyes widen* I think so too, especially with all of the kids who are masters at it before they reach double digits. Like that Grandmaster Judit Polgar.
gpt
I wonder what attracts the players to the game. Perhaps it's the complexity, or maybe the chance to create your own personal style.
human
For many, I would say it's family influence. The game has such a rich history.
gpt
I suppose talent could run in the family. I wonder what kind of personality you would need: spending hours inside your head, thinking of the moves and countermoves. 
human
Kind of like how athletic ability seems to run in families. Though, that doesn't explain why the Red Sox have lost every game on Ben Afflecks birthday. That's so bizarre.
gpt
Well, the universe was probably telling him something about his film career and role choices. The Chicago Cubs are another cursed team.
human
After this many years, one would think he would take the hint. Are they really? I never knew that, just like both the Red Sox and Liverpool F.C are owned by the same investment company.
gpt
I know that the Red Sox are partly owed by the New York Times, the paper of the city that's Boston's biggest rival.
human
It's a small world, investment wise. Fenway park is a beautiful stadium though.
gpt
I've never been. The Sox have been there since 1912. 
human
I've never been to a game, we were there to see the Pope, when I was a child. I do not understand why Babe Ruth had to cheat so much. Has anyone ever asked him why he did it?
gpt
*relaxed posture* Lots of money in it, I guess? I know that he lost the 1926 World Series for his time when he was caught stealing a base. That would suck.
human
It's amazing that the Cubs haven't won a world series, after their back-to-back wins. However, I'm from Cleveland, so I don't really have a right to criticize another town's teams.
gpt
I've heard that Cleveland is like Cincinnati, except without all the glitz.
