Chess is what you make of it. It can be a hobby in passing, a passion, a fixation, an infatuation. You get out of it what you put into it, Chess is everything and it is nothing at the same time.

“Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.”
