Learn to play chess online
I love chess, but I abstain from playing, because when I start, I become obsessed with it and it takes over my life.
I spend more and more time training, doing analysis, reading up, playing, trying to get better at it and become very touchy about my 
rating number..And then I ask myself - why should I get better at chess ?
I already play better than everyone who doesn't play chess. I play worse than anyone who can dedicate 4-8 hours a day, every day, training. 
Why should my emotional well-being be a function of a number which is my rating in some online chess service ?So I stop playing...Anyone else experienced this ?
