stress

I have read alot of people posting that they people are having to stop playing chess because there getting stressed,i find that a little sad,because this great game shouldnt do that,im glad that it doesnt do that to me,i play because it relaxes me and gives my mind a going over to,

does chess relax you or get you stressed ?

i love playing chess to relax my mind, i agree people get to stressed out over it, becuse they treat it as a sport and the competitiveness of it runs them down, chess is an art and should be respected as an art. People just sit back and relax.

(i dont usually run my opinions over the forums, so please dont knock me down lol, plesase!)

Nice topic, Wayno! I can't say only one. For the most part, I relax, even meditate when I play. But there have been times when IT pissed me off, too. Hehe.

I know sometimes people threaten to stop playing. They can hit an aggravation point, thats too bad. For me, the trick is to not take it too serious. Yea, Yea, easier said than done!!!

I'm curious what other people think....

Relaxing for the most part..

When I make a really stupid move,,,, stressed to the point of throwing me toys all over the place!

When I'm relaxed and just enjoying the game I lose like crazy. When I get stressed like there is no tomorrow and highly aggressive, my ratings go up. It's the second law.

It doesn't stresses me, I enjoy to play chess. I enjoy to solve problem in my games and learn a lot from my past mistakes, the harder problem I get the more eager I want to solve it, and when the game is getting tougher, means I have to think harder but it doesn't STRESS ME, in the contrary,,,the excitment appears and the game is getting interesting and challanging. In fact I feel easy, relax, fresh and happy after playing a few games. Oh, extra happy when I won over stronger players .

HAVE A RELAXING WEEKEND EVERYBODY!!

It's just eletronic chess. When you are away from it and having dinner with friends, dose it still really matter???

 Yep

 So Susanti drives you to drink while playing too.. Nice to know I'm not alone  :)

If you go out to dinner and check moves on your iphone then yes, it matters.
