"... Unfortunately, what I see sometimes when a player like him or even a novice tries to enter our 'community' is an immediate attempt to pound the fresh meat rather than welcome him in and introduce him to all of the aspects of the game while allaying his fears. People are put off by the overly competitive attitude of some of the people they meet. They receive little empathy, but laughter at their attempts to make sense of their experience. All too often, these novices find the USCF members they meet to be cold, haughty, know-it-alls who roll their eyes at their questions. ..." - a player who got up to 2200

Take a trip to your local psychiatric hospital.  They'll be very interested in everything you have to say on the subject.  In fact, they might be so fascinated that they'll offer you a free room and meals to stay and talk with them all about it in great detail! happy.png
