Does Chess makes people crazy?

Does Chess makes people crazy? due to their hard calculations?

It's likely more so the mental energy it requires and isolation for long bouts of time to be truly elite at the game.

Im comfortable in isolation sometimes i play 60+ h nonstop without sleeping what is not a good idea since i could cleary see the dip in form on the graph the more tired i became, but i still forced my self to continue to wake my board instincts im a loner most of the time but i do have friends and familly it depends on what type of person you are me my self was already isolated in juvenile prison a long time ago in 2008 im used to it from a mental point of view im playing for a year now nd have a rating of 1608 elo✌️

You are my friend on my serious account (IBKKilla999)this one i have for training purposs

r u crazy stop doing that bro!

Yes, look at the mirror.

100%. In history the top chess players never ended up in a good mental state besides Mikhail Tal. Fischer was insane. steinitz became homeless and there are so many more examples, and carlsen is starting to become depressed

How about Wesley, Fabi, Petrosian, Botvinnik, Euwe, Karpov, Spassky, etc etc. The odd ones out often just tend to leave a bigger mark.

and here I thought you had to be crazy to become a chessplayer 😁

I don't believe so. You could say Paul Morphy or Bobby Fisher had some misfortune ends but I think that was just character
