I agree, online gaming does seem too much hassle for you, stick to chess.

does this sound like a drugconsumer who wanna quit because he doesnt like it any longer ?
always remembering the good times but the next hit brings not the old feelings back :)

if you are unsure quit chess and gaming for a while and think in the newly gotten time about other/new ideas and interests. and why you did chess and gaming and what you need or is important to you now

good advice,
quiting gaming is easy, my passion for it is close to zero atm ...
for chess it is atm a bit harder for me ...
but the benefits you have from playing chess in real life is not that much more than the benefits you have from gaming ...
chess is a cool game, but I want to reduce my efforts into it,
I'm not really good ...
if I look at world class players like Kamsky or Morozevich, they flow from 2300 to 2650 within 2 years,
and I'm still crouching in the 1900's since 4 years ...
o.k. it's only in the last year that I commenced working harder on my chess ... but still in this one year I did not ascend that much ...
currentliy I'm investing way too much time into this game ...
I still like chess but I really have to reduce my efforts into it,
the reward is very little in chess ...

start a different type of chess. Like Shogi (Japanese) or Xianqi (Chinese). Maybe even go, though it's not chess.

I play Xianqi a lot when I was in school, nowadays only from time to time. I prefer it because:
You learn new stuff way easier than the 35th opening in European chess.
Xianqi is lots more aggressive.
There aren't too many people playing it in Germany/Europe, so you are at nationwide level level after ~2 years of not too much training.
And that is good cause it got me an invite to the World Cup in Shanghai with paid hotel and food. Only had to pay the flight myself and I even got to play the world champion :P

I investigated a bit into these asian chess variants ...
in shogi there seems to be a very very small scene in germany,
xiangqi does not seem to be played at all in germany ...
interesting stuff nevertheless ... but I am not sure if I want to learn another chess variant :-)

Since I just returned from a Xianqi tournament in Hannover I'm quite sure it is played in Germany ;)

Next dates are Feburary in N�rnberg and April in Braunschweig.

Once an addict, always an addict..

By the sound of you, it seems you already need addiction. It does not make any difference to your brain what you're addicted to - watch out! Reflect on what you've gained by playing, and think of what you'll gain by doing something else. (And not merely skills to show off - but experiences; was it worthwhile?)

You neeeeeeeed to stop your addiction-spree. It doesn't do you good overall; like this incessant, obsessive use of italics doesn't really help the text ;)

i know addicted people who are not dissatisfied with their addiction. for example some smokers: they have healthproblems but still they like to smoke and dont want to quit. they are no dumb people, some even on a relativly high intelligent level in what they do all day long, how much they have achieved and how much respect they have in society or how much money they have earned in life

but ofc they had to find their own way of doing things

Many medcines actually smoke,
although they should know best what it does to their health,
They just don't really care for their own health... funny, huh :-)

baron Railgun :

At some point you are referring to competitional gaming, then you say you don't even play it for fun anymore.
Or is it that if you are not able to play it to competitive level you don't wanna play it at all?
