Magnifique! Apropos art and chess, I recently came across this: ‘At one point in his career, the famous twentieth-century French artist Marcel Duchamp gave up art, in favor of something he felt was even more expressive, more powerful: something that “has all the beauty of art—and much more.” It was chess. “I have come to the personal conclusion,” Duchamp wrote, “that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.”’

Very nice...I've been playing a bit on lichess.org... I still suck
To suck is to live! Not to suck, ergo, is not to live.
