"Dare I ask" eh?
Sounds like you're gearing up for more of your BS with this clearly
rhetorical question which has nothing whatsoever to do with the
subject we were discussing. But since you asked, I have organized and
directed nationally rated chess tournaments and matches, and have been
a nationally rated tournament chess player for over 12 years. I don't
keep count of how many "chess players I know". I'm not sure what
you're shooting for with this nonsensical line of questioning, but I
know ALLOT of chess players. I've discussed chess with Grandmasters.
How about yourself. Have you ever discussed chess with a Grandmaster?
My slow OTB rating is in the expert level. (2000-2199) and my OTB
blitz chess is at the national master level (2200-2399).
How about you Jim? What is your national rating? Do you even have one?
Do you even know what that is? Have you ever directed a rated
tournament or match? Let's hear the rest of your "chess resume" since
you brought the subject up.
" What I said was that in the finaly analysis chess is about
> the enjoyemnt of it. Of course the actual game play is about winning,"
No, that's not what you said you Jim. You're changing your tune now
and adding "of course the actual game play is about winning". You
never said that. Scroll back up and review your own post, as you've
obviously forgotten what it is you indeed said. I'll repost it for you
here:
"in the absolute final analysis chess is not about winning it,
losing or drawing a game, it is about having fun and enjoying the
experience and the mental exercise. It matters not a damn as to if a
player is good, bad, or mediocre as a player"
Anyone with an ounce of honesty, who plays chess, will admit that they
do NOT enjoy losing. They would like to WIN their chess game. If
everyone enjoyed losing as much as they did winning, nobody would ever
get any good. It's SUPPOSED to feel bad to lose. There is nothing
wrong with that. Only a sick, twisted, mental masochist would find
pleasure in losing in chess. So as I said in my previous post, it is
indeed about "winning it", both in the primary analysis as well as in
the absolute final analysis.
And it does indeed matter if a player is good bad or mediocre. Perhaps
you're content to be mediocre at the things that you do. But don't
suggest that any sane person needs to become indoctrinated with your
religion for the dammed. The fact that losing hurts, and being a poor
player sucks, is what motivates people to improve. There is nothing
wrong with that, except in your twisted mind. This is a normal dynamic
in nature. That's why all the top chess player get the best looking
wives and girlfriends.
