I was born with bad eyes. People back then also were born with bad eyes but couldn't do anything about it.

Obviously you can also get bad eyes (shortsighted) when always only focusing on short distances but it's not the only way. Most people also become far sighted when they get older (the pressure inside your eye lowers and therefore your eye becomes shorter)

I love that since people can't just use memorized openings (I don't know any openings, just playing the way I like - for me chess isn't about memorizing patterns but rather about analysing the board to find the best move. I play chess because I want to think, not because I want to train openings)
