See the reason I don't like chess is because it's boring, it's basically just trying to survive your game out and trying to kill the other players king, in my opinion, what would really make a game good is if it's not just about survival, it's about reaching you goal in a way where your not trying to survive, and your trying to leave a lasting affect, chess also doesn't have mini goals, mini goals are what make the game more interesting because if you don't reach them, even if they are not needed, your chances of winning will go down, chess however, doesn't have any mini goals, and that just makes the game boring, now I know this comment will cause a lot of controversy, but this is my opinion, now I really don't have any reasons I like chess, but still, I think chess is boring.

Why are you here then?

This topic was made when he was 1700 (I just did some "research" for context, since a 2000 wouldn't really say that) and he was probably in some sort of slump or plateau.
