Why do you play chess? Is chess a torture? Is it a bad thing?

simple because this game is like crack to me.

"Chess is mental torture"-Garry Kasparov
Also Kasparov-"I love chess"
I love mental torture?

I play chess because it makes me calm and relaxed.

@BOB_345 Strange it just makes me feel cracked out like I'm on drugs or something

I play chess because I have always played it, it has always been a big part of my life.
