He probably doesn’t like chess because it originated in Persia, LOL.

Chess = gambling?

100% skill, nothing to chance, everything revealed to both players

It's equally likely that he dislikes chess because it's an activity that requires reasoning and rational thought.

He doesn’t like chess because playing it requires one to think, not simply do what the Imam says.
