I have never felt the need to post except for now. I read 11 pages of this thread before deciding to comment so here it goes....
First on the topic - I viewed this thread because of the question and I have my opinion on the question. No! Chess is not flawed based on the fact that it ends in the endgame... all games do when players of equal skill play. Basketball games go into overtime, board games take hours sometimes, and I can't think of one game that ENDS in the MIDDLE of the game most of the time. Remember you can CM an opponent in 4 moves or even less if he is that inexperienced.
Second off topic - I think anyone who feels the need to insult someone over the internet should really evaluate themselves personally (the time they spend and their humility).
Well, if I'm sleeping with failure it seems that you're my drunkmate and fellow retard, fighter (since we spilt 4 drinks in my earlier incarceration).
Wasteful.
