How awesome is chess?

Caffeine definitely qualifies.

@mikeisapro. You're absolutely right. I'm Russian 100% but I didn't take a drop of alcohol for 4 years! Instead I drink "chifir" - a very-very strong cooked tea. Almost poison that snakes will die... )) LOL It's the best tonic drink in the world I think! You can add condensed milk in it and it will be very nice to taste. Drink of the gods....

Russian ambrosia....sounds....interesting.

It is known that many teas have other psychoactive compounds besides caffeine.

I would think there is something else to chifir than caffeine, although I don't know for sure.

You can add some semi-legal farmatsepticheskie to chifir.)))
There is a great variety of psychoactive substances sold in drugstore.
In Russia to get a recipe is not a problem at all)). Money solves any problem.

Anyway, I have a lot of friends who spend their ''vacations'' in madhouse. And they are not greedy and happy to share))) LOL

many times when i stumble upon russians online there's only 3 letters that can describe my thoughts: W T F

LOL

To me the original question meant something like, how impressive is chess? Well for me, it is a powerful meditating game. The more we study or exercise, the more we can overpower our opponent. With that type of brainpower, comes a great responsibility. As we perform the role of a supervising officer for our chessmen, we aim to push them to their limits. We send them into combat against our adversary that is playing against our plans. The tasks of pushing these pieces are so numerous. As we hustle and bustle the pieces to win the battle, our thoughts may sometimes play tricks and cause blunders. Even so, when the tour of duty comes to a halt, we are glad it is over. The horizon of any battle maybe hard to imagine, but the game will always display and retain its greatness as a challenging sport. Therefore, if I were to scale chess out of 10, it would be an awesome 10.

+1.
But it puts your brain in limits of the size of the board. 8x8. And it may cause a headache. Kasparov said: ''Chess is flour of the Mind''. So, don't overuse with this ''drug''.)) LOL
