What is chess for you?

I like Antichess, but I don't think that it's still chess... it's rather the opposite
A game I play to prove to myself I'm not stupid. Unfortunately, I disappoint myself every time I try.
a good pastime, i like strategy board games plus moving the pieces makes me feel like some commander and it feels nice, that sensation is oddly what keeps me going. Commanding troops to secure some part of the board or remove a powerful piece makes me feel nice inside (maybe I was Hannibal in a past life lmao). Especially during a decisive victory beating higher skilled opponents and its a good brain exercise. I also would love to have a rival here to keep me on my toes and get me to really think more, healthy rivalries are lovely.
