Chess is for sadistic people

I disagree with the line "sadist in life => sadist on board, non-sadist in life => non-sadist on board". I guess I'm a decent human being (or at least I try to be) in real life. But I'm a total sadist on board and I can confidently claim that this sadist nature absolutely does NOT translate to real life. I love to see all people pursue their respective dreams and prosper, without getting into each others' ways. The fact that we can harmlessly simulate gladiatorial battles inside sixty-four squares has nothing to do with what happens outside it. Think about all those creepy video games with guns and blood-shed.. it's all about perspective.

It's not that chess makes sadists, its that some people are sadists, then play chess.
