I never respected nor took these people seriously. I never paid attention to them eitther, but that may just be because they dropped out of school in grade 8. Hehe.

Translation:



Lately you got on the forums only to complain about something and say how dumb this or that is. You might want to review your posts and see how you can be more constructive/likable?

It seems you felt addressed/offended by the first lines of my post. That's very interesting. :-)

Speaking of nerdiness, FIDE (world chess federation) recently assessed the number of people that played at least one chess game as 600 000 000.

I am currently not paying "serious" games due to job and some real life obligations - but this afternoon I spent circa two hours watching Super-tournament in Zurich. The only question that matters is - do you love the game or not?

It's actually quite usual forum chatting (Chessbomb) with all kinds of comments, often going offtopic into politics, poetry or silly jokes or anything alike. Drinking whatever you like and chatting with friends (or enemies hehe), nothing special.

We sometimes even manage to focus and discuss the game that is actually broadcasted...thou these moments are somewhat rare :)
