I've always wondered what happens when you mix coffee, redbull, and 5 hour energy. Now I know.

- also had some neat victories - lots - once I played a german neo nazi well I waS swearing me and cursing canadians down bit time - well - I just played - well my king was in line with his king our queens were in between - I had two bishops in between - well I moved one biship as a a sacrifice - he called the move stupid and called me down - took the sacricifice - now I checked him with my bishop - his queen and king were hanging - he had to move his king - then I took his queen with my queen - what amazed me was that I actually played a neo nazi - like I thought they were extinct - not extinct but still stupid - then another neat victory on another site - well another time I was playing against a high ranked player - we basically destoryed our pawns - he was ready for check mate he controled every square BUT my queen could go up beside his queen and check mate him I saw it and did it - another time I was losing big time - but I was able to check time and again down lots of main pieces in the end I got check mate - analysing the games - the computer said all my moves were wrong - I only played one live tournament - I was in my home town - well first I played two kids beat both of them AND THEY CRIED - then I played the adults and they beat me super bad - well later a father asked can you give me advise I can give my kid - I cannot remember word for word but I said yes I can - I basically said if you get kicked betwexit the legs cry - if your father dies wife leaves and get disowned by your family one week before christmas as happened to me well cry - but do not cry over losing a frigging fugging game - spend all your time teaching your kid to live and survive in this dangerous tough world - do NOT spend all your time teaching your kid to play a frigging fuggin game - when all the adults beat me badly and wiped all my chess pieces off and checkmated me and handed me my butt on a plate - I DID NOT CRY - that for me is a WIN

Why I play Chess!!
A game is always won through a mistake. When you see a good move, sit on your hands and find a better one. I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves.(bobby fisher) Many have become Chess Masters, no one has become the Master of Chess. The essence of Chess is thinking about what Chess is. Good positions don't win games, good moves do. What would Chess be without silly mistakes? Every Chess master was once a beginner. Chess is not like life... it has rules! One bad move nullifies forty good ones. The reason we all love chess so much is because it gives us so many opportunities to be wrong.The day Chess replaces Psychology is the day we understand each other a lot better ... on the chessboard, lies and hypocrisy do not survive long. Chess is a game. Chess is a battle. Chess is war. It is art, science, logic, and beauty. Chess is the ultimate contest between two minds. Chess is the mental torture of one's opponent, and the mental torture of oneself. Chess is drama. It is tragedy. It is tears and frustration. Chess is despair. Chess is laughter, joy, and triumph. Chess is a friendship formed through a contest. Chess is 16 pieces, 32 men, 64 squares. It is openings and endgames, tactics and strategy. Chess is combinations. Chess is planning. Chess is the sharpening of the mind, the exercise of the brain. Chess is thinking. Chess is pure thought. Chess is tension, toil, and strife. Chess is losing. Chess is winning. Chess is beating and being beaten. Chess is where all excuses fail. Chess is a hobby, a mania, a fixation. Chess is an addiction. Chess is a waste of time. Chess is a distraction. Chess is passion. Chess is truth. Chess is life.
Chess…is, in my opinion, one of the few supreme products of the human intellect, if, as I often doubt, it is of human origin. Chess is the triumph of the intellect and genius over lack of imagination; the triumph of personality over materialism.

i play chess because at the moment i am kind of addicted to it. But the reason why i started playing chess was that i always used to think that chess has to do with intellegence (i doubt it now however).
When i play good i am happy and confident when i am about to lose i feel depressed...

I always think this quote holds almost no water given it's proponent was so wrapped in psychology he would quit tournaments, make unreasonable demands, and then had a breakdown and for whatever reason refused to ever defend his championship.
bobby fischer may not believe in pyschology but he sure hasn't harmed the field.

Because i was stupid enough to be tempted into playing a game of chess one night at 29 years of age 
It kinda grew into somewhat of an obsession.
Seriously, i wished that night never happened.
