Default Chess must be banned!

Because it is made to humiliate, insult, torture human beings. Amnesty
international should know that human intelligence can not compete with
computer intelligence.

Also this game is voilent. I see so much blood on my mobile screen.

A more merciful poster would simply let this thread die a peaceful
death (but not I).

Chess should be banned, not because of the many reasons listed above,
but because it is an addition, a drug, which plagues the mind. Like
many other addictive drugs, it is difficult for ordinary people to
overcome, to master it.

Humiliation, insults, torture -- these things aren't so awful:
"Suffering was the only thing that made me feel I was alive; that's
just how much it costs to survive in this world." -- from a famous song
(by Carol King?)

The real evil, the unforgiveable sin, is the utter waste of human
intellect which is caused by this dread disease, this addiction.
Offhand, the only thing comparable would be, perhaps, the chess
newsgroup addictive disorder (CNAD) which afflicts many posters here
(and probably more than a few lurkers, for that matter).

In fact, the only redeeming quality of these horrid addictive
disorders (CNAD and of course, chess) is that they provide very
interesting study material for those of us in the field of psychology;
where else can you study the behavior patterns of lunies -- I mean
afflicted persons, of course -- without ever leaving your home or
office? Where else can one find such a lucious, juicy concentration of
these lunies, but right here on rgc? It's tailor-made for us. One
small complaint, however: why must the same, tired, old lunies continue
seemingly forever, on and on and on? We want new blood! New lunies,
that is, to start posting here. One can only make so much betting
"long" on posters like Parr, Innes, and the Nutty Professor, before the
well (of money) dries up.

'Hey, let's play some chess' and I get up and do it."
