Just a quick sidenote before I go to bed:

Three reasons why sucking at chess sort of reminds me of my life sometimes...

• I can't think ahead one minute.
  
• I will be jumping into certain doom gleefully because it looks like a good idea at the time.
  
• Sometimes, everything starts out well but goes downhill from there.

That, and I am always confusing bishops and pawns. (well, those damn things DO look alike.)
