But mostly, there are people who play this game extremely well. It's just like chess - I appreciate the artistry of the top players, but I could never hope to compete with them. I played against Viktor Korchnoi once, when he gave a simul in Pittsburgh. There were about 30 people who paid for the privilege of losing to him; I was one of the first ones out.

I played once against a cousin from out of state who was decently (but far from GM) rated and won...proudest chess moment of my life...
but to have the opportunity to play against a guy who once played for all the marbles...man, that would be
so amazingly incredible,
just for the learning experience alone...and the bragging rights. To wit, "I'm 0-1 against guys who played for World Champion." Congrats!
