Most wives think chess is Evil. How could a man prefer checkmating to mating unless there is an evil.part of chess possessing the player?

Right, let us not pass by the momentous fact of a forced mates occurrence.

when there is too many straight men playing it... its not evil but just pretentious atmosphere.

This sounds better. Chess is the root of all evil.

If you ask me, chess is 1st degree murder!

Aren't you premeditating an attack on the opposing king with intent to kill?

Suicide, or at the very least killing yourself accidentally in a stupid manner.

Hmm...I was going to suggest that perhaps Maxime Vachier-Lagrave translated as something like Maxime Digs-The-Grave. However, the wonder that is Google translate informs me that it in fact translates as Maxime Cowherd-Serious. Certainly looks like he has spied a serious herd of cows.

Sorry, not sorry

When confronted by evil, the wisest and most secure adult will usually experience confusion. We literally feel overwhelmed by the labyrinthine mass of lies and twisted motives and distorted communication into which we will be drawn if we attempt to work with evil people.

--You know what Tal said... Aren't the champions of chess, and what they reflect on the chessboard directly translate the symptoms?

The Tal quote makes no sense to me.

It's pretty much the only part that made sense to me.

Tal is famous for the quote about leading your opponent into a deep dark forest. OP is saying the confusion felt is similar to the confusion felt by Tal's opponents during an incorrect sacrifice.

Even so, the OP's OP isn't very good, but at least that part is... marginally sensible.
