It has been several days since I played any chess, and I just folded up the board and put away the pieces. I am thinking that my life has room for only one game, and right now that game is Grand Theft Auto.
I have some regrets about this. Chess is a real game that you can grow with, I feel, whereas video games are a hollow diversion, being more like interactive cartoons, albeit devilishly escapist.
Well, my game console is ancient, and I do not see myself getting a new one, even if Arthudo comes back and life resumes it's old, ongoing course. So, in the likely event that my console breaks down, sooner rather than later, I should be able to enjoy the consolation that I can always fall back on chess.
