Is it possible for a great chess player to play great chess if he hates the game?

Yeah, he just needs to have something else to inspire his effort. What are you getting at?

Um, yeah, THAT's my problem!! I'm so awesome at it but dislike it so much that my ratings are a regular Dorian Gray reflection of my true feelings for the game. Why couldn't you bring this up in may when I was feeling horrible?? I may borrow this idea some time -- I'll send you royalties.




Seriously, I think they can do well and even very well, but not play to their potential because they don't have the heart.

Probably not. But just love won't do it either.

You have to love the game to be any good.

But loving the game isn't enough to be good at it.

That's quite different from saying "all you need is love".

This is remarkably stupid.

If he hated the game, he would never become a great chess player in the first place.

Great chess players are made, not born.
