I've only recently started playing chess again after many, many years of 'wasted/missed' years of not playing. I mainly play to exercise my mind in a playful way, but have found that chess has taught me many other interesting aspects of myself.
The humility I have experienced in the games has been amazing. So many wonderful players are happy to share in their knowledge and help others in their game, it's very humbling.
The most I hope for is not to get beaten in less than 20 moves... Any more than that is a bonus! But with every game, I learn just that little bit more, and I ALWAYS have fun!
