But don't you think it is crime to do animal hunting.

 

No. Hunting is essential to management of wildlife. No one who eats meat can eschew hunting without contradiction.

It's a shame that such a serious topic turned into a troll thread. Addictions are real, including online chess.

Make something else a priority.

The problem is it's more convenient than playing over the board. If you are a serious player, then you will find that most casual players know how to play, but don't play often enough to reach your level. In order to find good opponents, you either need to start playing in tournaments or resort to online chess. If you want to stop playing online chess, maybe start signing up for tournaments

Or just begin playing in a chess club.

No trolling, we are exchanging ideas on how to deal with it

I play chess to get rid of my online gambling addiction I wouldn't know how broken I would be if I hadn't found chess

Drinking alcohol turns my chess game to shit.  Even after one beer the thought of playing a game and making some infuriating blunder keeps me from playing.  The earlier I start drinking, the sooner I stop playing. So my advice is to drink, early and often.

Since v3, it got easier.

 I know one way of curing this addiction. It involves a trip to the garden shed to grab the club hammer. I will let you try & guess the rest for now

I generally like joking around, but to be frank, it seems that for some folk, online chess is an addiction after reading all this thread.

In more general terms it may apply  to gaming of any sort.

The key is moderation. A few drinks, a few games of chess, a few wild animals.

By the way, the OP (i dont have a clue what that means, I just wanted to be popular) has closed his account, so it seems he has solved his problem ( or he commited suicide tear.png)
