Am I addicted to Chess?

Chess players anonomous is needed

 My personal advice is that chess isn't the answer to everything as all life isn't about war!! or a battle against everyone else you meet. For me its helped to to learn to consolidate my things and keep things organised and maybe to not let things drift too far ahead of me. Chess doesn't teach how to love, be sociable, dance or be passionate. Love and Peace everybody

Or an addiction lol

Chess can be very addictive indeed. I fell into that trap at some point.

Question for you players over 2000 rating? What do you tend to do for a living? Just curious as you have to have something about you to hold a rating that high? although not quite at IM or GM level.

I'm addicted. Have to be cause I'm a bit slow I think so I need twice as much time to learn. But I get there in the end you just wait & see magnus carlsen

same thing gf already knows if I sound distracted on the phone or am generally not paying attention to her she asks r u playing chess

People:IT'S JUST A BOARD GAME 

Me:You dont understand 

I told my wife theres nothing else to do. We work an come home nothing is open. There is no date nights out. If the choice is play live chess or watch re runs on 90 day fiance with her ill take chess lol.

I've been playing chess for only a couple of months and I am god damn hooked. Please help lol.

I'm addicted to chess, But i don't think it's a bad thing to be addicted to good stuff!
