I previously stated that professionals are spurned by a "fear of losing." But what do we get in terms of therapeutic value - and is it the same as the masters?

yes I agree but there are some players who play to win money for example there are games that last eight hours a few years for 11 years and I would like to say that the check games are very good at see again.

Both. Play to Win or Play to Anti-Win(Maneuver until the endgame)

If no player makes a mistake, then a chess game ends in a draw.
So you can only play to avoid mistakes.
To win you depend on your opponent making a mistake.

I'll rephrase OP's post - some professionals are hesitant to make plays.

I honestly don't like multiplayer. I have played quite a few games online, but I have never found one that was fun for me.https://vatcalculatorlive.co.uk/
