how much do you like chess?

What? :P

That's pie in your face... ;) lol

10. I guess I'm sort of addicted. Started less than a year ago at a rating of like 800 and now I'm way past 1500...

I can't stop playing and I'm constantly improving.

10, but I'm currently trying to get into Igo and see how that compares.

10 - Enough to pay 50 bucks on a chess website 

10 - Im a little obsessed too.

How much did you play before your retirement? Congratulations on retiring by the way - It takes a lifetime to get there, so enjoy it!

Before I retired I played very little Chess but after I discovered the website Chess.com I started playing a lot more Chess. My first two months on chess.com I played 1600 (10 minutes) Blitz games. Depending on how I feel and what's going on I have now slowed down to anywhere from 1 to 10 standard rated games a day. I'm trying to improve but I sometimes have good days sometimes have bad days. Chess is an awesome game and without a doubt the best boardgame in the world...

I'm inbetween 1 and 10, I really can't seem to make up my mind. I play igo (Or Go, Baduk in Korean) and really like it but I also want to play Chess. I'm having a hard time deciding which to focus more attention on.

Like isn't a word strong enough to describe the relationship between me and chess, nor is love.

I like Chess enough to rate it on a rating scale from Chess to Chess. It just is. Like Life.

2 km's much

Do it for certain! Best combination a club that has lots of people you can make lasting relationships with that also hosts official tournaments you can use to test your playing strength.
