what is chess for me

....for many, chess is just a game. strategies, moves, wins and losses.  but for me its just like life itself....one goal only....to win! you have to plan your every move ahead and wisely. you have to be careful in thinking and one mistake does it all.  you crumble and you fall...I for one admire those masters of this game...but they also loose and crumble and fall though...but the most important thing is that you tried your best gave everything to it and you just have to say i will do it better the next time around.....lol im gettin carried away !!! Godbless to all out there!
