Ett problem för de flesta schackklubbar under de senaste decennierna är att medlemsantalet minskar trots att schack måste vara en av de billigaste sporter man kan vara aktiv i...
Jag råkade nyss se en internet artikel om hur man uppnår ett lyckligare liv, och råd nummer 10 kan vara värt att citera för de som hellre spelar på nätet än i en klubb:
"In a 2010 study published by Harvard researchers in American Sociological Review, people who went to church regularly reported greater life satisfaction than those who didn't. The critical factor was the quality of friendships made in church. Church-goers who lacked close friends there were no happier than people who never went to church.
When researchers compared people who had the same number of close friends, those who had close friends from church were more satisfied with their lives.
It's thought that the forming of friendships based on mutual interests and beliefs (and meeting consistently based on that) makes the difference, so if church is not your thing, consider finding something else you're deeply passionate about and making friends with whom you can connect regularly based on that. Furthermore, when you interact with people who share your interests, you will feel happier due to sensations of reward and well-being.
This is because during such interactions, endorphin and dopamine -- neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of happiness and relaxation -- are released. In other words, your body is designed to feel happier when engaged in social interactions."
