I hope all my opponents are drunk.
Are you drunk right now and are making moves? I want to let you know you are not alone! Join our group!http://www.chess.com/groups/home/drunk-chess-formally-beer-chess
Hey but I don't like beer.. I will still want to join as "whisky subsection" if you have it
In the morning i'm sober if I am on here.
At night, most likely not sober.
On the weekend, depends.
I can only imagine how my opponents view how my playing style/strength changes throughout the game.
LOL! I have an opinion about people telling other people that they are immature. I lived 20 years behind the iron curtain. Heard it every day.
Immature has always been a synonym for creative, playful.
Is that not what chess is about?
THE MULLET LAUDS THE ADMIRABLE USE OF THE MESSAGE BOARD!
FLAME-TRUCKIN!
I played someone the other day that, after they started to lose used the excuse that they were drunk. The funny part was, after that he even started typing his words like he was slurring them and talking drunk...very funny
I have used that before..seriously
I love chess...as do many other people around the globe including children. If this were a beer or pot forum this dicussion might be appropriate.
EXACTLY.
This is a forum to talk about being drunk (Note the title of the thread) There is nothing hidden about it. You clicked on it read the posts and dirtied it with your fancy pants intellegence.
I am not making any judgements here. If the posts are dirtied, it certainly was not because of my comment.
All I can say is, God help me if should pick up the booze in play...the fire sale is going just fine as it is...
I'll try and track your online presence (at night), I need all the help I can get
working on it
Simply imbecilic is the notion that the desire to alter one's state of mind is inherently immature. Your condescension is unappreciated, Wojytla (this coming from a man who doesn't drink or take drugs, by the way).
It is exactly that. It is immature to now have the courage and fortitude to face the world as we are. Your ridiculous comment shows just how far we have to go. Relativism is dangerous as are comments like yours.
Who let the buzz-kill in?
This is a common misconception made by people who condemn illegal drugs/alcohol who have either never had any experience with either, or only have a negative experience associated with one or the other. Some people get drunk to cope with life because they can't without it. That's pretty sad, and I pity anyone who's in that state. For the vast majority of people who either get high, or get drunk, being in that state is simply another form of entertainment, and if you've ever had a positive experience with either I think you would agree. I don't get high any more, although I did in my uni days, I do get drunk every so often, but it's not a way of coping with life, it's a fun night out at the weekend, every so often, where I get to spend some quality time with my mates. It's difficult to explain why getting drunk is a positive experience, but in general it lightens the mood, and gives everyone more confidence.
If I sat and watched TV for half an hour, or play chess for half an hour, it's not something that I'm doing purely to get me through life, it's something I enjoy doing.
All the above is personal opinion, and that side of Wojytla's comments doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the condescending attitude, and the idea that he can quite simply put forward an argument, say he is right, and assume that that should be the end of it. Now that's the very definition of immature, not to mention condescending.

You hear terms and know there defintions but dont truly understand them
If you are going to pawn yourself off as the resident intellectual with the holier-than-thou attitude, you should make sure all your ducks are in a row first. The word you meant to use was their, which is possesive. There is positional and clearly the wrong choice. I'll give you a pass on the missed apostraphe.
You were doing well as well until you spelt apostrophe wrong
I don't anymore.........i make bad moves.....refer to my last loss.........beer good........beer and chess = missing your opponents obvious mate attemps
this made my day... the HYPOCRASY!!!!!!!
(intentional....joke....)
(nevermind)
Religion, exercise, firearms, seafood, etc., are all capable of altering our perspectives and thought processes. Conciousness is a continuous process, not a static state; "altered" state is a meaningless phrase. A drunk or pothead still has to face the world exactly as they are, they just choose their attitudes the same way anyone else does....
As to drunk chess, I make enough blunders without the fruit of the vine....
I might refine this to simply state that all experiences alter our perspectives and thought processes. Including, I'm sure, the experience of being called out as pompous and self righteous.
When I start drinking I start running around destroying things (like my games). I'll stic to pain medication!
I long ago learned not to post on the Internet after imbibing, it took a couple of hard lessons to learn that making moves in my games was also a bad idea. While I don't abstain from alcohol in the least, I do avoid combining it with Chess.
