I think I split my sides laughing while reading this one... I too have been prevented fro playing many bad games of chess

Am I the only one here who still plays both games fairly actively?

Go made me wake up early today. That's not much, but it's a start, isn't it ?

Nightmare?

not at all, I started to take lessons, and one was scheduled at 8h (a saturday, gasp!)

On a more serious note, I think I've became a bit more manipulative with people, using leaning attacks to make them move in the wanted direction. Usefull skill, but I feel bad when I think about it.

Oh, and it made me stop the cello (in conjunction with a really bad teacher). I haven't yet decided wether it's good or bad, though.

How does that work, do you threaten to cut their family?

No, simply push the discussion on one side, get them to defend using an argument, then reuse their own argument in another discussion involving them.
