Also rate Bobby's personal library
>Fischer's library contained antisemitic and racist literature such as Mein Kampf, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and The White Man's Bible and Nature's Eternal Religion by Ben Klassen, founder of the World Church of the Creator.[436][437][438] A notebook written by Fischer contains sentiments such as "12/13/99 It's time to start randomly killing Jews".

I wanted to add "reading the news" but I don't know if there's a word for it and yes, it's a lit occupation.

Fishing, and specifically fly fishing, is a contemplative pursuit that is condusive to the literary life.

Writing is too obvious an answer. It's just the inverse of reading. I'd go with music, especially violin.

I remember getting banned once because I started a thread about chess.

>Chess engines are better than humans.
This doesn't mean anything for human competition. We are still able to create fascinating and unique games over the chess board. Engines have perhaps devalued top-level competition a bit because all the players use them for opening preparation, but top-level games remain fascinating, and chess is only growing.
But for the patzer or the intermediate-level player, it doesn't make much of a difference.
>era of chess ended in '97
First of all, Kasparov's loss to Deep Blue was a fluke. He won the first match, and could have won the second, if he didn't choose to make an "anti-computer" move that was a blunder. Garry thought that a computer would never sacrifice a piece for the attacking initiative because chess computers had a reputation for being materialistic in those days. Kasparov purposefully played a blunder, thinking that Deep Blue wouldn't find the Knight sacrifice, but it did, and eventually he lost.
Secondly, chess is still growing today, so no, it didn't "end".

Sure, like professional running ended with the invention of the automobile and weightlifting stopped when we invented cranes. You cretin.

>Excersise going to the gym working out etc
Bullshit.

most literary figures are not fit and avoid physical exercise like the plague.
....and yes i know fit authors exist, but they're in the minority

Instead of moving the goalpost, try moving some pieces on the board. Your grey matter will be thankful

Well obviously they posted their hobbies because they felt they're /lit/ related. Why must you be so literal, anon?

>>17190810
You're really stupid. We can't use engines when we play -- how does it "end the mystery"?

tolstoy and nabakov were indeed chess enthusiasts

>>17190679
If you think writing is just the inverse of reading you’re probably not very good at either.

translation seems to be a particularly literary hobby, especially with poets.

>>17190647
This. Dandy shit.

>>17190869
If they posted "Organ playing is a /lit/ hobby" you would've been fine but posting "I play organ which I think is /lit/" is not ok, do you see how stupid that sounds?

>>17190832

So your critique is thinly veiled jealousy on your part?
