19. "How come the person claiming that honor and integrity are important are never on the winning side."
Because it is a scoundrel's game. If you are going to do something you know will hurt someone you care about, then you need to choose what is more important to you; games/chance to win money or the feelings of those you care about.

I have played a lot of chess, and that situation has never come up. I have seen people get annoyed when they lost, but I have never seen someone get hurt.

If it is just a game, then shouldn't the feelings of those you care be more important? If it is just a game, why hurt people over it?
