I see what you're trying to do, but I refuse to be aroused by an age old game of squares and figures. Never again.

In seriousness, this was a really interesting take on the game and has reignited the chess-playing spark within me (I haven't played since I was a teen), so thank you for that

Love this essay. As a chess player myself, I agree you learn so much about yourself and relationships through playing or watching. Being over 1000 elo is good though and you shouldn't put yourself down like that!! Thanks for writing this and hope you're doing ok :)
