Actually in all seriousness, chess i think is empty. The biggest mistake i have made is to search for depth in it, there is to my mind none.

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.
Wazzzzahhh!!
