At no stage in my chess life have I actually quit playing chess. Possibly the longest I have gone without playing was about 6 months when I was in 1st year uni, but after that I've always tried to play. So I find it funny when I see people announce that they are quitting chess, usually for the 4th or 5th time. And it is often strong players who I seem to notice, although I guess the fact that they are strong players makes it noticeable. Even Bobby Fischer made a couple of comebacks (if you count his match against a chess computer in the mid 1970's).
So why tell everyone you're quitting if you don't follow through?
