See the topic below, in which a guy complains about the madness chess makes to him:

I really think chess is a serious addiction, for non-professionals.
If you are not a chess pro, or do not want to become a GM, IM, FM or so, you do not need to take chess too serious.
Chess, for non professionals, could become a serious addiction.
It only steals your time, if you do not make it fun.
Then, the secret is: make chess another way of fun to you, like other games or sports (if you play tennis, golf, you can compare).
Chess is only a fun game for me. I do not study it seriously, I only make fun from it.
As I am writing about fun, try to aswer this question:
HOW MUCH CHESS ADDICTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT-BULB?
Hello chess.com. I am here to talk about live chess and speed chess. Sure it is fun and all and it gets your adrenaline pumping and that heart racing but it is also bad for you. It is bad because you lose the ability to play slowly and to see the entire game that you are playing. You are forced to attack, defend, and then move pieces in wild, unpredictable manners which really puts the pain on your slow chess playing skills. Playing blitz chess is like smoking (except for the fact that smoking can give you lung cancer or cancer in general. Chess cannot do that to you) it is an addiction. You cannot quit smoking easily, you cannot stop playing speed chess easily. I am unfortunately one of those poor souls who cannot end his blitz chess addiction. I do not smoke for which I am very thankful for. Please note that forum is not about talking about the differences of smoking and chess and addiction. I am simply stating that blitz chess is an addiction.
