Yes we're all innocent in here (Lichess forums) didn't you know that. Lol

@Boyko_Bu probably stop playing for a few years ,come back when you want to try
playing again , on line chess can be very addictive. In my day we didn't have online chess so played a lot less often and didn't have to deal with the on line social crap that goes with it xxx

> I think that few games entail more self loathing and depression that this crap game. I hate chess, from the bottom of my heart, as much as I hate myself, but I won't stop playing. And, I also hate those that play chess at large, I hate content based on chess, I hate everything related to chess, rationality is not meant for human beings, it is just depressing and makes you feel miserable.

I already quit so many times for so many years. I just hate this game, and I want everyone to know.

Oh well not sure what to say now erm if you hate it quit but you can get a fag paper between love and hate , maybe you really love it but have had a bad run of losses so you're feeling crap , get a couple of wins under your belt playing slower classical format and you'll start to feel much better xxx

bud are you okay? lol

if you want, close account button is somewhere in preferences ;)

@Boyko_Bu
Sounds like a love/ hate relationship to me. Chess is just a game to me which I happen to enjoy. I think you may be assigning too much importance to the game which after all is just a game. Heck I'll never be a grandmaster or even a master ( and judging by my stats even very good) yet of course I once had my aspirations. You do know on line ratings are essentially meaningless as far as OTB rating is concerned and at best just a measure of progress.

So anyway everybody knows
But nobody cares

> I wouldn't say "smart", it is logical. But playing chess in the long run makes you either a sociopath or criminal, or both.

True, I would never have started a criminal organisation if it weren't for chess. Unfortunately, my competition had a pawn scheme which was unbeatable.

Such strong feelings caused by a board game? Dude, I don't think it's the game, it's you.
