Hello dear, I would love to read your story, but I do not have access to the address you sent
Is it possible to send a part or a part of this fascinating story here?

Chess is very addictive so I do not agree with "chess is cool and good"

To misquote General Lee,  "It is well that chess is so terrible, lest we grow too fond of it".

I have to agree with Emanuel Lasker whose opinion on chess being good or even cool was straightforward - it was as follows:  

"On the chessboard, lies, and hypocrisy do not survive long. The creative combination lays bare the presumption of a lie; the merciless fact, culminating in the checkmate, contradicts the hypocrite"

It can also be frustrating, lol
