I see a lot of players spending more than two hours a day on chess. When does someone count as a "chess-addict"?
I think it's when a player keeps on playing continuously - that's what's an addict. Spending two hours on chess (not just playing) is not addiction IMO but dedication.
I sure am! :D
If you NEED to play everyday.
When you become dependant on chess - you can't stop playing it.
Have a look at the 'Active players' ranking.
A chess addict is someone who asks what a chess addict is.
When you name your newly born twins Zug and Zwang
When you're like the protagonist in quite a nice little film about "Chess Fever", on Youtube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN6m711ddZk.
Like any other addiction, when you can't stop, and you hate yourself for not stopping
