I have just come to personally apologize for leaving the Vote Chess Players without a word. I deceived myself into believing that contending with narcissistic chess.com personalities was somehow a waste of time. But the truth is I was walking out on a chess family. Everyone's chess dreams are precious and when no one could believe anymore, they did the same. It's true that I couldn't work for administrators any more where games were growing exponentially but I wasn't just putting aside my own hope. It was the hope of everyone. I significantly reduced my teams because of gainsaying, apathy, hostility in general and the conquest of personal recognition at the expense of community. Just because the wrong in the world will never change doesn't mean it's acceptable to stop facing it. Each one of you have made a huge difference and have a lot to be proud of in the vote chess league. Of all my accomplishments, none matter more than having a chess family. And if someone can walk out on family, they walk out on their own life and dreams. I know no one will really accept this statement and things will never be the same again. But I don't just suppose we could accomplish anything I know it for a fact. I can see now that the proud and boastful personalities out there are really just a reflection of half of my own self so why should I even blame them? Please never give up on the idea of winning it all just because I did. I'll never again terminate my attachment to the dreams of others, and this I know, those not so nice people will also one day have to play against us and we'll have our say.
