But mostly, there are people who play this game extremely well. It's just like chess - I appreciate the artistry of the top players, but I could never hope to compete with them. I played against Viktor Korchnoi once, when he gave a simul in Pittsburgh. There were about 30 people who paid for the privilege of losing to him; I was one of the first ones out.

That pretty cool you were able to play him... I enjoy chess, but don't have drive to be a top tier player.. On chess.com I hover in the 85-92 percentile, depending on how much time I spend practicing and relearning the skills I lost by not playing. My chess phase typically lasts maybe a month, then I focus back on other adventures...
