Firstly, I find the tone of this remark somewhat offensive.
Secondly, what is wrong with artistic expression? It could be argued that chess is an art and that this art in common with other arts such as dance or music or literature can be expressed in many ways:

  • playing a game of chess
  • composing a chess problem
  • composing a fairy chess problem
  • designing a chess variant
