You know you're addicted when your schedule revolves around your time limits.
Signs you are ADDICTED!!!
Sort:
I know I'm addicted when I'm working from 7am, and in 6.55 am I'm still at home looking at my games on chess.com!
You know you're addicted when....
having seasoned your meal, you replace the condiments thus: salt cellar returned with a diagonal slide, pepper returns using "L" shaped hops.
Later stages of this particular affliction include the use of sound effects:
A whinny for the Knight, Latin chanting for the Bishop, squeaking wooden wheels for the (siege) Tower or Rook etc.
You'll never have to share a table again.
It's bedtime. You tell your wife/husband/partner "I'll be up in a minute, just one more game" and you're still online three hours later trying to get your points back!

FANTASTIC!!!
one important sign is that playing online games is the first thing you do in a new day, and you just can not help yourself.
It is good to enjoy something, but bad to be addicted, no good for health
when you carry asmall pocket chess set and book ,every time you go outside.....
I've gotten up from the dinner table on a few occasions to go check on a position because I was thinking about the game while I ate and either realized there was a threat I hadn't originally seen or that I had a better move than the candidate that I initially had in mind and I needed urgently to verify it.
Hello fellow addicts...Some time ago I read an entertaining article about the signs that you've "got a problem" with playing online chess...problem is I've forgotten most of them...so I was thinking of asking people for some funny (and true) signs of the real and sometimes lonely plight those of us grind out daily (and nightly) on chess.com...HAVE FUN!!
