Chess, yes interesting... I do not see it so much as a game... but how I learned how to play chess... Just memorize all this moves based on your opponents move and normally you win... in this case winning is I can dodge the appearance not of understanding what someone is doing. Empathy has been very elusive emotion & it is limited to just a few. When I say limited I am talking about a cat I had, & a relationship I want to be in and am in.
