Chess is an unfair flawed nefarious game that only addicted villains choose to play indefinitely

This is a last post that I want to leave behind to tie loose ends and achieve some sort of closure, and perhaps convince others to quit this wicked game. I have been in abusive relationship with Chess for over a decade and only now I feel truly enlightened--this game might be the worst thing that happened in my entire life. I would go so far to put chess addiction up with gambling, alchohol, and porn addictions, and I think it might have a worse effect on a person's self-esteem than all thre- ok may be except the last one.

1. Chess doesn't award consistency. You can play 39 out of 40 best/good/decent moves, defend against all your opponent's threats, actually formulate a strategy while your opponents reacts passively, and 1 blunder would cost you the entire game immediately. That would bring you the exact same result as someone who blunders his queen on the first few moves.

2. Stalemates don't make any sense, and anybody who says otherwise is lying to himself. Simply put, it makes two players equal even when one has achieved an objectively better end result.

Common rebuttal: You're just bitter because you blundered games like that...

True, but that's still beside the point. The fact remains that chess awards people in dubious metrics. Which is understandable because that's the way chess was created and developed. It's an unfair and more importantly flawed game at its core.

Come to my last and most important point, and perhaps my biggest reason why I quit the game. Chess is evil. Yeah, I'm not exaggerating or being dramatic here, I'm 100% serious. I would go so far as to say it's Satan's incarnate in board games. Now I realize that a chess addict reading my post would just laugh and say it's me projecting my own failures, but it's in fact the universal truth. There's no point in chess from a spiritual perspective. It brings more harm than good. All chess players go through tilts after their mistakes, and don't give the crap about "learn from your mistakes" because it's impossible to avoid them all the time. They will always remain part of your game no matter how hard you try. Chess is a game designed to remind you of your shortcomings and the inadequacy of your creative intellect. Whether you're the World Champion or a lowly 1200 like me, that reminder will hit you all the same. It's a satanic game mainly based on one of the 7 deadly sins; Gluttony. A 1200 becoming 1800 would not feel accomplished, since his win to lose ratio will always remain consistent, and even if you reached the top, aka becoming the next Carlsen, every defeat will only weigh harder, bringing more misery, self doubt and contempt along the way. It's perfectly balanced devil artifact in a sense that will inflict a proportionate amount of harm no matter how much time you spent learning how to handle it.

Chess is objectively a nefarious game, from spiritual and objective point of views. Do your self a favor and practice real sports instead.

You don’t stop living when life gets unfair to you, do you? There are rules & not just you but everyone are playing under them. Be a sport. Chess is a beautiful mental sport and the most important thing it teaches is patience. You may need to work on that coz in future you won’t draw these kind of conclusions out of your frustration towards anything that is not suiting you wants.

Idk why people have such an issue with stalemates. out of my thousands of games on here, i've only experienced a stalemate in my games in a handful amount of times. It's extremely rare, and only happens if you're being completely stupid in a superior position, in which case u deserve to only get a draw. 

 

Stalemates are the easiest thing to avoid on a chess board, unless its forced. Deal with it.

 

Strong players usually knows all the tircks to save a losing game into draw in bullet /bitz games. Stalemate is a very popular one and  and all you need to do is " block all pawns first, then give away all your pieces"

In my games insight in other server, stalemate rate is just minimally below than other draw rate.

Umm, I have bad news for you if you think "real sports" are somehow more fair.

As for the spiritual stuff, I think you'd feel better if you didn't forget to take your meds.

Besides the bunny had already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that chess is a sport

Note: Meds are required to actually locate the shadow of a doubt.  Along with umbra, penumbra, etc. we shall name it braiknight in the op's honor.

But chess puts memories in our hearts and mind

All you have to do is savor the good memories and look for a way to move on from the bad ones

that's not a proper response. U just gave ur own stats, which doesn't refute that stalemates are very rare. U also didn't explain how strong players stalemate easily. if that were the case why do we almost never see stalemates at the highest level? sounds like bollocks to me.

Not that difficult! As I said two steps,

1. push all your pawns, so that they cant move anymove

2. then  give away pieces

Khomeini banned chess in Iran in 1980, because it was evil, just like you said. You, Khomeini...hmmm
