“There’s no comparison in any other sport in the attempt to destroy your opponent’s psyche,” explains chess player Stuart Marguiles. “I never have heard anybody say that he beat his opponent. It’s always that he smashed, squished, murdered or killed him.”
That's funny....leave it to the Awake to find an idiot to quote.
I play chess once a week...it's pretty competitive. You don't talk much during a game. At the end of the game you shake hands and say 'good game'. You don't say "how did I lose to this idiot!!"
Once it did get ugly I was getting beaten, smashed, squished and murdered.......... not at the chess game but in a boxing match.......I boxed too........not well enough apparently.
