One great thing about chess is that it allows players to reach a state
of full immersion in the game. This is why there are occasionally
stories about fires or armed robberies at chess clubs where most of the
players just continued their games as if nothing was happening.
Sometimes after a tough day, a nice quiet game against a 2400 player is
a real relief. :)

Maybe there are some test positions in there. For instance, after
14...h5, 15.Qh7+ Bg7 16.Re7+ is crushing.
