RE: Weekend engagement week 22 topic: An eye on your hobby

Oh chess makes my heart hurt. My father forced my to learn at around age 5 and despite now being a VERY GOOD chess player, I find nothing relaxing about it. I appreciate the strategy I learned through it though.

In some way, I guess every game (chess or not) could actually be stressful at times. I had this conversation with @nightcorevids last night while she plays Axie Infinity. And she told me the game gets a little bit stressful for her at some point because of the efforts she exerted only to lose in a battle. But it is part of the game. We cannot always win. And what I've learned from playing thousands of chess games is that there is always an opportunity to learn something new, may it be after a win or a lost game. And I'm glad we share a similar appreciation for the strategies we are learning from this game of chess.
