Let's think about how we think about chess

This video's pretty rambly and all-over-the-place. It's hard to talk and play chess at the same time!

In uni, I used to live in rented flat with a close friend. We had this struggle going on of who is smarter and better. I hated this struggle, I just wanted to hang out and do somehting together. There was a PC game s.t.a.l.k.e.r. and we played several times against each other. Apparently, I was way better at shooters, because as a child I used to play cs 1.6 So, I rolled over him hard (he was like Martin at it, basically). He refused to play stalker anymore. Later on, we found out that we are equally bad at chess. Anytime we palyed chess, it was freakin' cold war level of trying outsmart each other. I felt lonely and wanted to play and hang out, he wanted to show that he is better then me. It lasted 2 years and ended ugly. This is why I used to be friends with women mostly.

I've definitely had relationships with people where we tried to outsmart each other. I don't like it! Haha. It's hard to tell which person started that relationship with a relationship like that, I think there's a lot of "you started it!" "nuh-uh!" around it.
