Chess Addiction

This thread gives whole new meaning to the term "pawn pusher".
Ha yeah I agree, and isn't there a song called "G*ddamn The Pawn Pusherman"?

I remember seeing a guy who liked pushing pawns in his nose while playing.
One game with him would be enough.

See the topic below, in which a guy complains about the madness chess makes to him:

I really think chess is a serious addiction, for non-professionals.
If you are not a chess pro, or do not want to become a GM, IM, FM or so, you do not need to take chess too serious.
Chess, for non professionals, could become a serious addiction.
It only steals your time, if you do not make it fun.
Then, the secret is: make chess another way of fun to you, like other games or sports (if you play tennis, golf, you can compare).
Chess is only a fun game for me. I do not study it seriously, I only make fun from it.
As I am writing about fun, try to aswer this question:
HOW MUCH CHESS ADDICTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT-BULB?
"Yeh whadya want, I got pawns, bishops, knights..."
Give me (looking around for snitches) a dime bag of bishops and make it fast, see.
What do you want with all those bishops??
Knights are better.
Lol I stand corrected!
