Hey, I noticed that too! Good job.
I noticed that too. The post saying they're done with chess was 3 years and 3 months ago but were on here 1 month ago. D'oh! It's an addiction.

"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my time playing chess. This game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. I recently lost an OTB game on TIME, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not.
I am done with chess, and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end but I'm in the middle of a tournament, I wouldn't want to waste my money so I'll suffer through a few more games.
One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteousness fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.
Oh man, sorry to see you go. I've felts the feels of everything you're saying here (and also some stuff we're not allowed to say). I wish there was a place that was somehow comprised of folks that were like-minded to us, and not toxic / fake. Maybe ICC? IDK.

This is the behavior of a quitter and has nothing to do with chess. I suspect that you have had similar experiences with anything else in life that is hard and requires discipline.
it's so funny watching people take this seriously lmao

HORSEY - USE YOUR "L" ATTACK.
<it's not very effective>
I've never played tournaments frequently and haven't played in one since March 2017, but the one thing I feel like saying is that why people enjoy spending 10-12 hours playing 5-6 games is beyond me. I only played about 120 tournament games in my entire life (starting in 2009) but I remember them being distinctly stressful. This site however is fun and relaxing, I can play several dozen games a day and not be nearly as stressed as during one of those all day OTB tournaments. It's not chess that's the problem, is the grueling design of tournaments. Even blitz tournaments OTB don't have the same effect as online, where your extremely disappointing blunder can be diluted by thousands more games in no time.
