I've started playing chess online recently (Lichess) and not only am I terrible, I've slowly come to realise that I actively dislike it. I know it's cliche to hate on chess, but I personally find the experience pretty unpleasant. Yet I cannot bring myself to stop playing. It's becoming an addiction. Is this what the "League of Legends players hate the game" meme is about?
(Also, first post on Station, hi! Sorry for dunking on chess, I'm sure it's great and this is just sour grapes, but I don't want to make a "first post" with no content...)

I enjoy chess but am a thoroughly average player... I recently discovered hnefatafl too and find it fascinating! · 1 year ago
Hnefatafl is better than chess. · 3 years ago
I used to have this for almost all games and then I stopped being digital for like 18 months · 3 years ago
I sometimes realize when in this state of mind (not for chess but other games), I really more hate my lack of skills than the game.
And it's better, I can improve at a game, but I can't change it :) · 3 years ago
