Is chess fun?

I have looked on youtube for : chess hustlers  and there is a lot there to see !  If these people can be believed , some of them even make a living doing this ?!  Seems like a very lonely life to me , even though I love chess !  When I no longer enjoy playing chess I will quit playing .

And i guess, more good of you at chess, more competivite you are and it makes you stay away from fun part of chess, since your intention is clear now, to paralyze your opponent. 

Parapelegic, or quadrapelegic? And any tips for what part of the spine to aim for to accomplish this?

Yes I live in Laguna. That sounds like the guy I saw. A little scary looking. If I ever get a game with him I'll let you know.

He's harmless. He is probably 70+ now. Probably 1800 by USCF standards I would guess. Tell him I said hi -- the guy who played him in 2006 or so, and he got one minute for the game, I got five minutes for the game, and I made him run out of time and he threw the board in the air and refused to ever play me again.

Thanks. I get that a lot. He is there pretty much every day, early. I was sitting with him and some nice people came over and offered us fast food burgers because they thought we were homeless. We politely declined. Some day I will go back to visit and hopefully he won't remember me. I'll rematch. He really hated me with a passion ever since that day. I thought he was going to attack me. He said he never studied chess. He just played. He would always yell, "I use my brain!" He plays all day, every day. If you do play him, write down or remember the moves if you can. I would love to see a posting of it.
