Does anyone here suffer from major depressive disorder, mania, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia?
How do you manage to keep playing this godforsaken game?
It encompasses everything that is rotten in this world, and turns into a meaningless game.
Here come the naysayers to deny that chess is "a meaningless game" But what is that but your own ego trying to convince your self (and us) that you haven't wasted time playing chess, You enjoy it..?
Yeah, you enjoy simply winning because your opponent made a mistake? or because they simply haven't played as much as you? or haven't studied the correct positions?
Oh what's that naysayer? You don't mind wasting time? How about the age old classic where you turn it around say "If chess is such a waste of time why are you even here?(or do you play it)?"
A fine tactic no doubt honed in your hours long quests to reach a higher rating plateau.
What of the game? What of the people who play it? Where do we find ourselves with a game 500 years old?
