That's a serious promotion from a major time waste.

another bullshit thread by an idiot trying to get responses. please chess.com shut down the columns and turn this site into a chess site and steer all this bullshit nonsense back to facebook.

Watch your profanity dude

To a degree I do agree with this statement, threads,blogs Etc., will always produce the silliest of points and remarks that have nothing to do with the subject of actual chess. I think chess.com should consider shutting down and restricting the chat subjects to a (pre set list,) not allowing users to create there own nonsense subjects which cause a lot of the problems which can clearly make it very hard for chess.com to monitor?! if you go on I.C.C.F. there are no Blogs or Threads at all, all you have is a small box to message your opponent if you wish, and even Lichess does not have all this silly stuff being chucked like confetti I think it's a case of you create an open door chatter box room you end up with so much junk in the box it's difficult to manage!!?

And I thought that was what differentiated chess.com.

i remember when i was a newbie i used to imagine basic chess openings in my mind all the time. Even in class, home , college , exams everywhere. Then i improved my skills fro 3 months, quit playing and came back after a year... Now everythings fine... but those 3 months were torturous...

Actually bong, I went the creative writing route and that was a waste too!  No, what I should've done with my time was learn to play rock guitar; then maybe I could've joined the Banana Splits!

Yeah. Guitarists are adored by women too.

Chess has turned many to begging

What makes a person lose their dignity like that?

Those who followed me. I posted several times of immoral practice of schools to train strong chess players among students for Interschool Competition. They are tampering the students future

If it wasnt for chess I probably would have had kids and a wife, or ex-wife.
