I started going bald before I started playing chess, so no worries for me there!

my first girlfriend had long, flowing hair down her back.  None on her head, just down her back.   (insert cymbal crash) Wink

Chess is addictive and should come with a warning label:

"CAUTION !... possible side effects may include : hair loss, dizzyness, insomnia, mood swings, anxiety, divorce, loss of appetite, suicidal tendencies, impotence, loss of job, headaches, constipation and a general loss of any remaining sense of self worth"

Having said that...anyone up for a quick game ? ;)


 hehe, divorce...I like that1

My condition?:  Possible mass murder tendencies, but I get medication, so I have hope.......Laughing

I've been playing seriously for only about three months now, and my poor wife already calls herself a chess widow. I'm at chess club every Friday night, and I'm going out of town all weekend for a tournament, and when I am home, I'm either studying, playing on here, or boring her to tears explaining the merits of various lines of the Alekhine's defense or something.

I just tell her it could be worse, I could be out drinking. Tongue out

Chess, like every other form of addiction, needs a sense of proportion so you get the benefits without the massive withdrawals symptoms.

Chess is like a cold sore, the more you pick it the worse it gets.

One thing is for certain: You should never operate heavy machinery while playing chess... :P That ought to make for some pretty scr*wed up buildings and bridges...

What you say about this addiction is obviously fabricated.  My wife will attest to the fact that I HAVE DEFINITELY NOT LOST MY APPETITE.

Anyone for a game - 1728 is rating.

As the great Dr. S Tarrash said " Chess like music has the ability to make men happy! Apparent we must remember to include women as while... or did he!!

Chess gave me migraines! I learnt to play as an adult. I used one of those electronic boards. The squares were made up of stripes and I was never sure if I got migraines from the playing chess or staring at these stripey squares for hours.
