A simple Venn diagram busts your theory. 

 

While all dogs are animals, all animals are not dogs. There is no reciprocal relationship.

 

While evil may cause distortion, stress, confusion, anxiety, etc. Not all of those are caused by evil. 

 

Ever take a really hard test in school?

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. 

It wasn't something to be defended with an overly-effective force. It stands for itself. It's expedited intention was more like a blur into the abstract, which was to act like a trigger for something that one can receive at some attentive level. Assertion of it though, encountering an obstacle of 'existing in an unstable state', which is it's nature.

Logically, you can platform some more or less plausible arguments, but you will always chafe your reasoning on nonsense, because the very concept of 'evil' is dazzlingly motion-like, relative to a point of undefinable. So anyone should attempt to catch it by his own ethereal net. And try to work on the topic further.
Not an easy task .. I was counting on enriching the question field with multiplied-unit possibility.

It is also drastically vulnerable. So at any moment it is prone to 'escapes' with statements of a sharp, angular manner.

Which I respect, but in the light of possibility, consider unambitious.

H.G. Wells makes it sound like it's evil

If you take evil in the biblical sense no chess is not

Not inherently evil. But many people who play chess are very unpleasant, mean, rude, and smelly.

That's not evil either. That's to be expected.

Many players enjoy Torturing the opponent. Especially Karpov and Kasparov. Karpov Suffocated his opponent. Kasparov Crushed. They are Mean Evil players

No, its just a strategy game. Maybe if it was based around tricking the opponent,.but the best players (computers) can't be tricked.

Chess is inanimate. The pieces remain in a box, or stored away somewhere, until placed on the board to be used. Chess cannot be evil, it is incapable of thought, intention or movement without the intervention of humans.

Now, chess may be played by evil persons with malicious intent; however, that does not make chess evil, only the player.
