Religion or no Religion

Playing chess over 65 yrs with many types of people on earth. I have found whether one praises some God  or profaines language or whatever happens when one loses. The Chess game was there own thinking.  Am i playing with some God or a  being from where ever. Or am i playing with the person in front of me. So from here on in . Its your brain against mine. Do not expect me to feel there is some hidden spirit helping. When you lose ,,accept it in your brain yourself that YOU YOURSELF LOST.
