Beause chess is an extremely intriguing game. Nothing better to relax, it clears my mind and cleans it of daily stress.

I love chess because of its depth and its history. All of it together strikes me curious and interested.

So you are lazy and lose to hard-working people who actually deserve the win and get mad at yourself and that is why you hate Chess?

Fk you and chess.

Tell me why why are you here? I have 4 ideas:

1. You want to play Chess.

2. You want to comment and chat.

3. You want to convince other people not to play Chess.

4. You want to seem smart just because you play Chess even if you are not good at it.

5. You want attention and start a lot of arguments.

Also by the way please answer me this:

Why did you block me??

By hard-working people you mean the 8-year-olds who gets rating 2000 after being 4 months here.? Hard work won't get you that far. It's either TALENT or they CHEAT.

Anyways,

I love Chess because it can be very challenging and testing - also because of the nice combinations by all of the pieces and when you play it good, it brings a lot of happiness - that is why I am trying to for a GM title even if I started a bit late (I am 10 years and 7 months old)

None of the five reasons is true.

1. I am here because I'm addicted. I can't quit even I want to.

2. Although I'm quite intelligent I play averagely and losing to 7-year-old cheating brats makes me furious.

3. I totally can't lose.

4. I would start cheating too but I dk how to. lol

I blocked you because it's fun.

1. "I am here because I'm addicted. I can't quit even I want to"

Bro really??? You said in one comment: "Fk You and Chess" - and you are saying you can't quit even if you actually and apparently hate it that much?

2. "Although I'm quite intelligent I play averagely and losing to 7-year-old cheating brats makes me furious"

Ok ok chill Mister Jealous. How do you know who is seven years old and how do you know if they are cheating?

And I have a question, do you think I am a 10-year-old cheating brat?

3. "I totally can't lose."

Then you totally can't get better = You totally will keep losing to 7-year-olds.

4. "I would start cheating too but I dk how to. lol"

OMG GUYS - WE'VE GOT AN UP-INCOMING VILLIAN 😱😱😱

Just 'cause every time you are facing 7-year-old cheaters every single game (at least you sound like you are) that doesn't mean you should catch the cheater virus and turn into a cheater yourself.

"I blocked you because it's fun"

You are a psychopath and like to see people suffer ✅

You are not a psychopath and don't like to see people suffer and are empathetic ❌

oh shoot I gotta get outta here otherwise this guy will shoot me 😭

You really think Magnus Carlsen doesn't have immense talent for chess and it's the hard work that made him so great? If you believe that you must stupid.

who said he doesn't have talent? READ CAREFULLY

I meant that he works very very hard and I NEVER said that he doesn't have talent - I just didn't mention it.

"Why do you love chess??"

Because I have never been able to feel so good doing something that I am so bad at!

I should have read the thread before I jumped in. Didn't realize it was a kiddie sandbox fight.

I found chess as a teen with about eight friends.

Got books at the library and chess was in a box of 40 games.

We only had a black and red plastic set that fell over . . .

Out of the 8 only three stuck with chess that summer.

My first real set I bought at the White House on closing sale $20:00.

Played during lunch at Lowell High in San Francisco on Hayes street.

Met George Koltonowki blindfold champion, joined his club.

Played at San Quentin prison one match.

Learned to play blindfold chess with descriptive notation.

Taught my four sons to play chess and three grandchildren.

Taught at grammar schools and one high school.

Taught 100s at LIBRARY, ran city tournament many times.

I have 26 club sets with as many clocks & a demo board.

In January I will assist at the library again for teens. . .

That's why I love chess . . .

My 2 1/2 year old grandson moves his knights. .
