Hmmm, I am afraid you don't know much about game addiction. Our rehab clinic in Switzerland has several people with serious game addiction. Game addiction is classified as disorder by WHO. Game addiction is described as a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour so severe that it takes "precedence over other life interests".

You don't have to inject stuff in your body to be addicted.
U can be addicted to games, but as if u can be addicted to a CERTAIN section of a game. That's what Im arguing
You are probably very young, I guess, you just don't think much before you post something here, am I write? You wrote above that "Chess is just a board game. sure a lot of people really want to play a specific game because they enjoy it, and might do it over work or school, or study, but that's not the same addiction that people have when addicted to drugs. It's not hard to stop yourself from playing games etc."
So, you didn't say that people can be addicted to a certain section of a game. You said that "It's not hard to stop yourself playing games etc". Please stay with the facts. And perhaps you should begin to think at last some seconds before posting something.
use ur common sense, thats what I was referring to, a certain section of a game. That's what the argument is about in the first place. I think ur the one that doesn't think before they write. now ur resorting to insults, calling me young. I'm an adult sir, but you're a manchild.
Okay adult girl, tell me where you wrote that people can get addicted to a certain section of the game. You was arguing that people can't get addicted to chess, and after I gave you the link to the fame addiction you suddenly changed your mind, telling that you was arguing all the time about people getting addicted to parts of the game. Do you think we all here are not able to read or what? If you decide to agree with me, then do it, don't invent things to show you don't do mistakes.
Don't be silly, chess.com is obsessed with top speed chess, why would they want to do that?
Good question. Perhaps because they don't want to profite from the misery of player who get addicted but with some help would like to play chess in slower time controls? This website could demonstrate that they care about people playing here.
