"Concerning Chess" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.
The passion for playing chess is one of the most unaccountable in the world. It slaps the theory of natural selection in the face. It is the most absorbing of occupations, the least satisfying of desires, an aimless excrescence upon life.
