What is the objective of chess?

My objective is doing something very clever, perhaps artistic even.
chess is really good for wasting time in a (more or less) enjoyable way. It's the best when your opponent is a nice person to waste time with...

Strategy, plans and all that stuff.... is an other reason to enjoy waste even more time... in books ! (they are good company too ! and they can teach you what you should aim for and when... many things i cannot answer myself)

Enjoy playing.... and searching :))))

Time enjoy with friends are not wasted time but sleeping too long hours are. Time is life.
Timewasting in chess is: Running out the clock.
Wasting time is more like the term "Procrastination".
Conserve time is the opposite of wasting time.
Increment time is good to conserve the initial time setup.
So there is no wasting of time in chess.
The objective of the game is to enjoy it ,in a timely manner.
