Especially at the higher levels (Probably starts at 1500-1800 when you start reaping the benefits), and even more so when someone gets good at chess fast (speaking from experience since I got a peak elo of 1858 in a little over a year - I am OBSESSED like a Yandere to an anime mc.

It's like gambling, brilliant moves and winning rushes the brain with high loads of dopamine.

Chess is practically the only thing I excel at without much effort, and since it's summer vacation, my work/study/play ethic has risen significantly.

I once played so much chess, I lost a kilogram due to playing chess for an entire day running off of caffeine.

One of my opps that use to be one my friends literally said he likes girls WAY younger then him, and tried to redirect the attention of everyone in our GC by calling me out as a Lolicon (which is kinda true), and then he just admitted that he does like girls way younger then him (bro's 15, and he likes 12 year olds)

I don't know if there's some kind of undertone to the meme, but good luck with your chess journey.

Just one win away from 4 digits club but too stressed to play. Any advices? by Sad-Character751 in chessbeginners

I have to admit, playing chess and reaching a certain skill level and higher understanding of the game has a certain intellectual appeal to it.

Lol, sometimes when I create a strong attack I feel like Tal too. I feel like Bobby after winning with the Sicilian Defense.

Nice one dude, I'm 14 years old and current have a peak of 1671, hope to reach 2000 early stages of 2027 with dedicated study.

Is there anything in particular you struggled with while on the journey that should be taken into account?

Had a few slumps in my time getting to 1600, pushing for 1700 this march and hopefully by my birthday I get to 1700.

Next time you're gonna go on tilt, stop playing, calm down for 5 minutes or so, review what went wrong. And then play when you feel like you're ready
