A slow wireless connection has probably discouraged a lot of casual players. One can watch chess videos, study Super GM games and then play a blitz game with a winning position before the connection breaks and one forfeits the game being timed out.
Chess takes a lot of time to learn, and the opportunity cost for playing that game too much is quite high-especially if one becomes and adict and quits their job to play chess. One could be studying how to become a physician assistant or grow corn, the problems of reform in Russia and how that is affected by sanctions in slow economic privatization or if humanity really should give up on trying to save the environment because its too late and learn to love living like ants in eco-disaster survivable hives.
Chess is great fun yet very demanding on time for non-pro players that need to work for a living. Also, some chess players may not want to antagonize their emotional support rat or alligator taking time to study the violent conflicts of chess.
Fortunately players with such issues may moderate their chess learning and schedule a modest hour or two a week for learning chess openings and slow improve their game instead of full-time indulgence of their chess addiction and end up in the gutter although playing with a sharp 1850 rating.
