The secret to lasting love for chess

Really interesting!! Great to see you enjoying chess again. Never really thought about it that way, it does describe my situation a lot, so maybe i'll begin to eat more ice cream :)
Thank you for sharing!!
A very wise person once said: "Positive Positive Positive! :D "
Once I lost my passion for chess - more to life and not to chess circumstances.

I am happy, that recently (almost 2 years now) I found my passion back.

I think being self forgiving is another trait, which will help you alot in chess.
So reducing the hard feelings for a loss and enjoy victories goes hand in hand, I guess.
