CAREFUL! Politics could polarize the discussion! lol. That's one thing that's really nice about chess. it's extremely hard to involve politics or religion.

I find that as soon as you try to go deeper, to get to what you(or others) are looking for, you end up with a whole new set of problems:

when you go deeper, someone will look for clever ways to turn it into a hole, to bury you in...

someone will always try to fight you over the validy of the idea, either so they feel no obligation to conform, or maybe to try to fight you over it, to claim it for themselves...

Some people will be jealous and try to make you out as someone, who wants to be special...even if you could care less

others have nothing better to do than to give someone a hard time...

I wonder why no one is posting video's about chess, in this thread about chess?
