For most of them the social features and downsides of real-time online chess were investigated and documented, including social magnetism, gambling, anonymity and use of pseudonyms, nationalism, Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT) issues, Islamophobia, and social stratification and mobility. The accompanying game annotations and post-game discussions mainly dwell on responsible participation and civil discourse using live online chess games as medium. Online chess has become a test case for us as an international\/trans-national group to think about how we can live in a socially-differentiated society, where its members subscribe to a plurality of forms of knowledge arising from considerably different environments, experiences and genetic makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573278851223,"sku":"9781300228240","price":5792.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781300228240.webp?v=1774892429","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/live-online-chess-social-features-downsides-9781300228240","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
