This is necessary in order not to trust someone who cannot do it.

I also use this mode, although I am weak, but my armpits sweat less!

I don't know the best way to put this into words.

"NOT want to improve" is having a want. I don't have that want.

I don't have the want of improving, and I don't have the want of not improving.

I just want to play.

I think at a certain age you stop comparing yourself to others and say I am who I am , take me as you find me . I definitely don't compare my self to others when playing chess as like to think I'm unique . Don't we all? xxx the game is beautiful if you see it that way xxx

The most destructive thing human can do to themselves is to vote without doing research on the candidates. Party affiliations do not mean a thing anymore.

The most self-destructive act is suicide.
You guys are thinking too hard over this.

Actually, you're both incorrect. It's torturing yourself to the point you want to die, but can't.
