Why i am suddenly so obsessed with chess?

Hi friends!

I know the rules of chess since childhood but never learned to play it properly. I also have the app chess.com for around a year, but this last week i habe really been fascinated by online content i have seen and the prospect of ever improving in this game. Right now i am on vacations around a nice city and whenever i spot a nice place to sit i stop to play a game and then analyze the errors. So addicting! Has anyone been through an intense desire to improve and play?  Am i having a maniac episode ahaha?

Not a maniac episode lol. You're realizing how brilliant chess is

Same thing here ,i just got interested recently and although im still learning the rules I feel obsessed watching games and reading books. Just loving the journey tom

I'm sure you know that all of the great players early on developed a passionate love for the game.

Absolutely!.

I've all of a sudden just all over it. And starting from basics.very challenging, but love chess.com for learning. Being able to go back and check moves is just brilliant

They give you the first one for free. Get out while you still can (it's too late for the rest of us).
