1. My dad-he taught me and was an excellent opponent (until I started winning every game.)
2. Showing off-lots of people are impressed at how smart you are if you play chess.
3. The joy of thinking-I know this sounds stupid, but it's a great feeling to think through a variation completely and have fun in understanding a position. Also, formulating long term strategies falls under this catagory as well.
