And yet there is a creativity in chess.
This could be what the writer was on about in his letter.
And the vague sense of forgetting something within the being of the OP.
Longing to connect with the great creativity locked within the more than a game.
It is almost like "the it that there is no".
So in appreciation of this, I will share an idea channeled from the creative although it may only make perfect sense like perfect pitch is in the ear of the listener.
So many hats to wear. Sometimes the king and others the pawn.
Sometimes white or black, strong or weak
(It depends on what square you're on).
But if the winning lines of games could speak
Could they sing universally?
A tune that gets stuck in your head
like so many patterns, positions, games, memories, years.
So took each move, each piece, each rank, each file and each square.
And assigned it a musical note.
Something interesting happened.
The winning games all shared a similarity in tune, melody, pitch and even rhythm!
Quiet moves like rests.
Pawn storms like eighth notes.
The long bishop's diagonal crossing the board like the notes of a scale.
Each game an unique song!
We can now listen to our favorite chess games!
They said chess can be its own language.
And every language deserves one to speak it, and each song one to sing.
Oh! The moving heroism within the sounds of the sacrifice.
What's this? The unresolved tension in the notes of the stalemate.
The tight wall of sound in the closed position.
The lively melody of the open games.
The triumphant praise song of the checkmate.
Chess Music.

Too much chess, all right.

This may sound a little strange, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience to me. Sometimes, when playing games, I have an utterly strange feeling that I have forgotten something - and I don't just mean some tactic, or positionally advantageous idea: it is like something in my being is not there. There is a sense of bewildermant and frustration, indepedent of the postion on the board, as if I know there is something there, but that whenever I try to fully know what that thing is, it turns to dust. I repeat, this has nothing to do with success on the board, in fact it only seems to occur when I am doing well. Many very good positions have been utterly ruined by this happening when suddenly this, by now, fairly familiar feeling, has overwhelmed me, and made the decision making process inoperable. All I can think of is this ineffable thing that I have forgotten.
U and tom were suppose to meet us at the time travel worm hole so we could go home.... instead chess,chess,chess.
I will not worry about until "the small voices on your head" start to tell You what pieces You should move
I new there was a reason why i'm not a grand master!
Don't leave home without the tin foil hat!
...and don't forget the garlic!!! Magnesium + garlic = a healthy wealthy Pineal gland, full of vim and vigor! Some people like a little Potassium to help too! mmm...I may have to try some too, my chess needs vastly improving ... brb, off to the shops soon to get some, not to worry a WGM I will be...LOL.
Won't zombies be attracted to your juicy pineal gland? 
Paul Morphy. is that you?
that's what the garlic is for!, it's double functioning:)...
or is garlic for Vampires, silver bullets for Werewolves, ...Holy Water for Zombies???
maybe you forgot to remember to forget
(from: Estragon Holy water is for demons. Zombies can only be stopped by severe head trauma, a sharp blow, a stake, or gunshot.
Or you can burn 'em. They go up pretty quick. 
)
lol...sounds like a bonfire or flamethrower thingy is needed, but surely there aren't that many Zombies, are there??? ...but I will heed your caution and carry a lighter, a bottle of Holy Water, garlic, a Holy Cross, with me at all times.
PS Don't worry about the Werewolves, I can howl louder then they can...LOL.
sorry to get off topic but one must show caution before engaging in memory loss and strange mental experiences while playing chess for abstract thinking can do these things:). But we must carry on!!!
