Are you (we) addicted to chess or to chess.com?

I was wondering that about myself. Doing a bit of soul searching. I love chess, but without chess.com I wonder what it would be like.

Do you feel "addicted" to chess? to chess.com? To neither. Or to both?

I'm definitely addicted to chess, and all things chess related, including the rich history of this game and the world champions, etc.

I only recently became a member of Chess.com, but *WOW*, do I like it here.   I have never seen a more active forum, let alone for chess!

I'm addicted to chess and to the Internet, so this forum is a good place where I can nurture my addictions. The forums at Chessville and Chess @ About.com simply do not stack up. The forum here at Chess.com is way better for feedback/responses/replies.

I must say though that I don't like to play chess much on Chess.com. It's the user interface. My favorite so far is Babas Chess for FICS.

chess... in general.  Studying it, playing it, anything...

I really enjoy chess, but this site gives me the ability to play against other players (not to mention the other tools/videos/forums/articles that are just amazing)... playing against a machine all the time gets old fast, so I would say it is a combination of both.  Without this site I would probably take breaks from the game.

I am currently addicted to chess.  I think this is a fuction of my personality.  In the past I have been addicted to things like videogames and math, but then something new comes along...

I come here for the tactics trainer and daily puzzles. I like the correspondence chess interface here. To answer the question...

Yes, I'm addicted to chess. Yes, I'm addicted to chess.com because of it's lovely members. I always get @$$%#!x^*#s on yahoo chess for winning. I rarely get that here.

i'm addicted to chess, chess.com the website, chess.com the job, chess.com the social scene, chess.com as better than facebook, chess.com as a hobby, chess.com as an all-night-bug-testing-extravaganza, chess.com as a creative outlet... i'm addicted in so many ways i need therapy.

Well, i must say im NOT addicted, I dont carry around a phone with me to play when im on missions. BUT the first thing i do after taking off these smelly ACUs is log on the internet, talk to my wife, bark at the dogs, THEN log on to Chess.com I love it though, it is a very cool site, sure it has its downfalls like live chess, but i mean how long has the site been around? Not too long! So everything is still somewhat in the Beta stages. I will definately sign up, just for the fact that i can play someone in China, or Russia, or Japan, or any countries for that matter. That alone makes it worth it to me! But NO NO NO im not addicted!!
