I was blind, now I see the truth.

I used to be like most chess.com users, an average chess player who thought chess was an interesting, even entertaining board game/sport/whatever. Only now I realize how wrong I was.

Today, I was shown the truth. The twelfth game of the WC match provided me a new insight on chess.

Chess is a boring, ridiculous activity, whose only purpose is to make us waste our time. Time we could use to be with our family, or even better, to make money by buying Enron shares and selling them at the appropriate moment.

Every game is potentially a draw. There is no interest in playing, a won game is an imperfect game. A drawn game is a boring one.

Time to go and do something useful with my life. As for your, it is your choice, but it could not be more obvious.

Keep your money for a while and wait for the IPO of THE KINGDOM OF PATZERS CHESS ANALYSIS, INC.

Warren Buffett said it is a strong buy.

And where exactly is this "serious" place that people take their chess games to? I've never heard of it.

Should have given that advice to Carlsen and Karjakin before the match.

Chess is a sport, then they can not drink spirits during the games.

Normally you don't feel the boredom of the game when you're the one playing it. ;)

this is why a lot of people stop playing because they realize it is for entertainment.  you can use your time for other things that make you happy
