Why do you suppose chess would make somebody rated near 1700

Turn-based. It's a guy on here who says chess makes him sick. That's why he draws so many games, and also doesn't play much because chess makes him sick. Pay a visit to my home page, and read my last notes.
It makes me sick because I just took a queen, missing an obvious mate in one.
no chess cannot make someone rated near 1700, which is only a rating.

Pure genius! Post 13 doesn't sense on the other hand. :)
Taking the game too seriously perhaps? I don't envy professional chess players, professional video game players, or professional sports players. All three are fun, but I imagine there's a healthy balance.
Even though the sound of that is something quite atrocious!
I hate drawing because it's so wishy-washy.
When I lose I know it's from the same stupid mistakes, and blunders I've always made so I see I'm not improving hardly at all. When I win, I don't get much satisfaction from it because it depends on my opponent making stupid mistakes, and blunders before I do. So I don't get much out of chess either.
Sad?

I think he's just a gentle, empathetic person, woodshover. It's not common, but welcomed in both the chessworld and the world in general. Better than those peeps that are all like 'chess is war' and poop.
