Chess is a competition, and the fact that one or the other wins is the very definition of a competition. Would chess even be interesting without the competitive aspect? Just think about that for a moment.

My opponent is better than me?! Chess should be equal for all players. If you don't have the mental capacity to become a GM, you should at LEAST be allowed to use an engine. Am I just supposed to accept that there are people smarter than me in the world that care about chess more than me?

No, I'm afraid I might quit chess if they don't do something about this! Just ONE suggestion is they can just GIVE me elo! If they don't want to do that, they can just flat out give me the GM title. I earned it through countless minutes of bullet chess. Fix your website, Lichess.

Chess, like evolution, war, life, sports, etcetera is inherently unfair. It wouldn’t be interesting if it was fair.
