I'm playing a deductive logic game not a card game of chance like poker. Reading your opponents moves on the board is the only connection I see.
The mechanics of chess are very similar to gambling without money. I'm addicted
Note, I have never went to a casino and lost, because I take a set amount and no way to add to it. I also leave upon winning the original sum I brought or losing it. I take 40 dollars cash, and stay for 4 to 8 hrs this is the entertainment I paid for with the 4 hrs. If I'm lucky and double my cash I leave if I lose it after 4 hrs I leave. Sadly this doesn't work for chess, because theres no money involved, and its at my home on a screen. Time is your cash in this casino..
I wonder if this is healthy? I wonder if this is insanity? I wonder why I hate, and love this game? How do I keep it a positive as opposed to a negative? Maybe quit after two losses per day? Here, too, you need to be able to control yourself and not give in to emotions. Sometimes after a loss, you want to play again and again to win back, but this can lead to burnout. I often play casino bonuses, on gamblizard and I understand how important it is to stop in time so that the game remains enjoyable. And in chess, I try to maintain a positive attitude, concentrating on learning, and not on victories or defeats. So perhaps chess is somewhat reminiscent of gambling. What strategy do you guys use to keep it a positive vs a toxic experience?
Wow, too many questions. Chess, like any intellectual activity, is useful for developing the brain. Everyone finds their own strategy!
