It is about more than simply being intellectual and smart. It is about being comfortable with yourself and enjoying your intellectual side. Simply playing chess is not enough... If chess is an activity you enjoy, enjoy it without worrying what others think.... only then can you truly call yourself a nerd. Please note that I look upon being a nerd as a good thing! And be careful not to confuse being a nerd (intellectual, smart, comfortable with oneself) with being a geek (perhaps a nerd but also anti-social). - Dan long time nerd-rights advocate
