...when you wake up with hangovers, remembering that you were very drunk last night and came home thinking you were Kasparov and lost 400 blitz points....

Amen!
That concept has completely dried up now that the kid who runs it has taken an iron fist approach.

Actually... finishing a won game..especially a big tournament, 1st, 2nd, 3rd place on the line, hard fought 4 hour plus game... is very enjoyable.
Now waiting for a player to move after a very long time.. I bet will be #1... it is for me.

1. Nf3
i don't think your alone, i play 1.nf3 exclusively and many people abandon the game at that point. i thought is was because maybe they have problems with 1.nf3 turns out I'm boring. my own suspicions confirmed. viva 1.nf3!
After 1.Nf3, you could try for a Chigorin and try to make it less boring.
okay, I got it... trying to research an opening via grandmaster games and all you can find is 15-20 move draws.
Finishing a won game?! How about the converse; finishing a losing game? It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop!
Hey,I opened this topic 3 years ago!It's a surprise you guys remembered to comment on it again.Thank you all!
Trying to figure out what the most boring thing in chess is
I really don't like it when it's necessary to check a move with a lot of calculation. I like trying to "read" the position and calculate a few short sequences. When there are a lot of tactics I hate trying to find the most accurate sequence under risk of losing... it's very tedious to me.

being completely quiet up to 4 hours and sometimes even 6 hours. no exercise during the game is also boring.
besides d4 openings are the most boring opening in chess.
Rook and pawn endgames.
After you win a game in chess, your opponent wants to show you where he missed a win in post-mortem and, of course, there is no "crushing win" there at all.
