Then you are playing the game and the game is not playing you, or is it?

Exactly! If you enjoy what you are doing then you are doing it right.

Then you occupy a higher level of existence - it's a delightful buffer against the common garbage can of life, is it not? 🙂

I tried playing a 30 minute game. My opponent had lost his queen and a knight with over 20 minutes left on the click. He asked for a draw twice, the quit playing all together.

I have two bishops, two rooks to his knight. Still waiting, 7 minutes left on the clock.

My 10 min rating or about the same as here. It fluctuates between high 1600s to 1300s. Usually it is 1500ish.
