I play chess for my heart. I never think about my moves. I only play what I feel is right.
I play chess to spend some time from my life
yoo I play this game for fun
I play bullet for fun and to be the speediest out there 😁 I play rapid to challenge my patience and to learn the tactics. I play blitz to get balanced at speed and tactics. I play 960 to mix it all up and enjoy improvisation. I play with equal opponents to have a fierce battle and figure out who is the best + for companionship. Lots of other reasons too. Sometimes everything turns dark and feels meaningless, then it is time for a break. To find joy in it again.
I just plasy for fun
I play chess to learn.
I play since 1976, that year my best friend taught me my first chess moves,he did this because he was in a club,so he crushed me in every game, an eight year kid is a bad coach.
this gave me the will to be a "decent player" almost fifty years later i still didnt reach that goal,i am still a wood pusher.
I often compare, chess to juggling,'i am a juggler too, 5balls 5, ring juggle...it's pointless.
for juggling its simple you cant fight gravity, there is an analogy in chess, too much combinations you cant solve it,even computers when they play together finaly loose,they too dont play a perfect game (chess is a draw with perfect play).
i was for forty years a carpenter,then my body was crushed,i couldnt lift anything anymore,i had to make a reconvertion, now i draw houses, last year my contract ended (one year contract),i was paid the lowest price possible.
i was helpless,but i realised my boss didnt play chess,, instead of saying to me okay we make a contract reconduction but for the same amount, just be happy to have a job!
he tried to force the position (never force a position when you're winning)
the story ended me having a 600 euro raise and a much better contract, l wish you all too meet people that dont play chess, life is much easier with them
I think we play chess for our brain. Are you agree this. I think chess is best mind game.
