Chess ruined my life.
I don't know what to say. I started playing chess as fun hobby but then it got addicted to it. So much that losing a game really agitated me. I played again and again I started to lose my mind.
But that wasn't it. I got so addicted that nothing else gave me that joy. I started to ignore texts and calls from my girlfriend when I was playing. And then a few days ago, I hadn't talked to her for a while, but then she texted, I was busy playing. Then she called, I ignored the call. And she called again and again. I was loosing and angry, disappointed at myself. I shouted at her. And we haven't talked since then.
I don't know what worth does chess give us, but it has taken a lot from my life. Really.
