I really like Quake and also Chess, but I am not playing much and if you don't play you lose touch with everything. As the saying goes ... use it or lose it.
Problem is really if you have too much on your plate, you just don't get to play really or you don't want to invest the energy.The other problem is also it is really always competetive, and you don't want to lose against players that suck, just because you are out of shape.
But I think I will try to make a concious effort to try to play at least once week, because I think it is not only fun when you actually start playing, but it also tests your mind.

Being good is a matter of opinion. On what basis do you consider yourself ? You can be the fastest one day on a track and the next day average because you were feeling sick.
Does losing to a guy you used to beat, when you think you were a better player back when you beat him, has any interesting output on your level if your opponent is a better player himself now ?
Nadal won 14 Roland Garros. He lost in 2009 to Soderling - a player who had no major success whatsoever in elite tennis - after dominating the tournament four years in a row, beating three times out of his four first triumphs Federer which was number one most of the time during this period. What is your appreciation of this ?
