I do not know why I even continue playing chess? Why do you lile or play chess? It just makes me feel miserable.

If playing chess makes you miserable, then I also don't know why you continue playing chess.

You don't enjoy it? Stop playing.

People play football because they like it. Same with chess. If there are no advantages and you don't like it stop now.

Try Go, better than chess, less repetitive.

Surely its the application of deductive logic, that is submitting your ideas to the process of falsification to ascertain their validity or otherwise?

Rather than just giving up chess when you feel miserable about it, you ask yourself why you continue to play, so that indicates that your feelings about chess are actually more ambiguous rather than just negative. I think your feelings about the game could be a combination of things, such as feeling depressed over disappointing results in your games, but still enjoying that sensation unique to chess of being so ensorcelled that the rest of the world disappears and you just sink into the universe of 64 squares. it is as refreshing as hypnosis, so we all enjoy the game for that, even if we are frustrated at our limitations in playing it.

chess is good to get you to think, and be patient, maybe you feel if you loose you are no good ,  just means you have more to learn dont take it so sereously , just have fun play a game by sticking your king out in the middle and see how long you can hang on   have some fun

Hey sorry this is off topic but, @GunnarRasmussen did you find that coin lying around? It's in pretty good condition for a buffalo nickel, and what is the date on it?

What originally attracted you to chess and specifically what makes you miserable now.  Is it losing?  Is it making blunders?  Is it feeling you're not improving?  Is it feeling it takes up too much time?

In each case there are possible solutions.
