I think the reason I lost interest in chess was because after playing it a million times somebody pointed out that the point isn't to ASSASSINATE the enemy king, you have to entrap him, and I was like this game sucks I just want to shoot him with a cannon

It arguably, in some ways, makes chess a worse game than if you could just brainfart and not move out of check and then lose the game by accident (You can still do this but it has to be as a second- or third-order thing)

Also if you’re in an anime and it has symbolic meaning to your relationship to the other player you can deliberately put yourself in check
