It's widely know that John Abraham is passionate about bikes. Well, comes the news that he is reportedly passionate about chess, as well.

Apparently, John is so into chess that he often kills time between takes by playing computer chess. He also loves to read books and watching films about chess players.

"Whenever I have some hours to while away, I get busy with the game. I play against the computer," John is quoted saying.

"It's one of those childhood habits that refuse to leave me," John added.

However, there is one person John can never beat, his brother. "My younger brother, Allen, is perhaps the most intelligent guy I have ever met," John said. "Over the years I have been unable to beat him at the game."

In addition to the computer chess, reading and films John even buys chess sets when he travels abroad – he now has 25.
