>If it delays your prayer than it is haram. But some scholars say chess is ok to play and some say it is fully HARAM. Some say you can play if no gambling, alcohol or fighting (between family and friends) is engaged. Different opinions. But the sahaba say something that it is worse (chess) than dice and gambling. So to be safe don't play it. Don't play with dice either it's like dying your hand in swine or blood of a pig. Keep researching. I think there is proof of chess and all the other games in the QURAN. >So to be safe don't play it. kek
