Trading is often about how to take the appropriate risk without exposing yourself to very human flaws.

My problem is that no one wants to play chess with me anymore, I noticed that in chess there are the most sore losers.
When I’ve been vaccinated, the pandemic peters out and the Australian government allows its citizens to travel again I will visit London and one evening I will put a bar tab down and shout those forum members who attend a few drinks. If you come we can play an exhibition match and the others can laugh at me when you win in less than 10.
Probably some of them hate me, those are more likely to laugh at me for winning while I'm enjoying my drink.
I can see you're glass is half empty - people are taking the time to talk to you!

I no longer have the time for hobbies like chess or lengthy computer games - just trading and drinking. But my biggest regret is not learning how to mate with king and queen versus king and rook. It almost drove me mad trying to figure it out but I'm sure I would have learnt it if I persevered.

The glass? I drink straight from the Klein bottle.

Alone against all. Exactly the challenge I needed. To go against the odds.. Only if there was such a job.. I'll search for it but I will be trading meanwhile.

That's your opinion and I respect it. My opinion is that you aren't the brightest around here.

I am inclined to agree with you However, all of my medals combined probably weigh more than your bodyweight and I earn’t them with brains and brawn. The two together I would say would beat you at chess little boy!

Sorry, I didn't think it was a competition between the weight of your medals and the weight of my body. My mistake. But I warn you, I'm pretty fat.

Did you win the medals for taking so many steps in one day? I admit that lately I spend too much time at the office, you have all my respect then.

Sounds like maybe we should do chess boxing instead?

I have learnt more from this forum in the last 2 months than I have in the past 4 years why didn't I visit more often when I first started out I would be miles ahead of where I am now.

It's perfectly normal for some.
