Is chess this depressing?

If you've ever played chess, you'll notice that every piece on the board struggles to a shallow grave or just struggles ... even the "winning" side dies in little pieces along the way. And once the battle's over? No more reason even to exist, except hope for another battle.

War is hell, and existence is a war. Everyone loses.
