Chess Sucks
Every now and then I try to go on a little chess kick and improve my game. What a fucking waste of my time. Chess is a terrible game. It's no fun and people who waste their time getting good at it are total creeps. I've played dozens of games against the computer set on easy and it wins every single time. The experience is a stressful headache and a feeling of complete impotence and futility. When I play a game, I want it to be fun and I want to be able to win occasionally. I want to have the feeling that I'll get better with practice and that with the right combination of skill and luck I'll be successful. Chess just makes me angry. And this whole nonsense that smart people should be good at chess and people who are good at chess must be smart. Bullshit. I'd like to lay down the gauntlet and challenge Gary Kasparov and Bobby Fisher to a little game of Pictionary with me and my sister Steph. We'd take those dweebs to the woodshed, guaranteed. Fuck it, they can have Deep Blue on their team and I'll draw left handed with an eye-patch and we'll still smoke 'em.

Elliot, you fiend, I do not appreciate this. I'm on the chess team.. I dominate.. chess is godly. It IS fun. Chess is a freaking blast. Nobody claims that smart people are automatically good at chess, but it is an excercise of the mind.. you can't deny that the game of chess requires more strategy, thoughtfulness, and cognizance than virually any other board game. Therefore, smart people are naturally inclined to be good at chess because they possess those qualities. Furthermore, I find your saying that people who spend time getting good at chess are creeps to be offensive and downright unfounded. People who hone their chess-playing skills are dedicated and admirable. Just because you lack the mental capacity to annhilate your opponents as I do, doesn't mean that chess sucks. in fact, I think it means that you suck.
And besides, I do believe Max and I can and do kick your ass at Pictionary.
PS happy birthday soon.
Lil' sis, first of all, my Pictionary skills have no equal. When people play me in Pictionary, Pictionary stops being fun for them. My dominance is a known fact throughout the land and you're claims of ass-kicking are pathetic lies. Second of all, as for the creepiness of chess fanatics, read this.
