It's not crazy, it's life. The skills you learn in chess help you in life. Like sacrificing pawn to mate a queen. Personally that's happened quite a few times in relationships 🙂

Sometimes I am studying for an exam or listening to my professors and it interferes with my thinking about my next chess moves. It even happens sometimes when I'm making a nice dinner. For instance, I'll think that it needs more salt or pepper, when really I was advancing a white pawn or attacking with black. I really need to stop letting those mundane worthless activities interfere with my chess games.
Oh My God - Funniest thing I have ever read period.
