I don't think the block affects your ability to edit meta. I also don't see why you shouldn't be able to play chess there - even develop articles for later importing into Wikipedia.
I for one don't have a big problem with your edits -- many, if not most are quite sensible. What I do have a very big problem with is your apparent inability to get along with others and work constructively within the community and respect (however wrong you think they are) our conventions. This doesn't mean that you can't work to change the conventions.
As somebody has already mentioned Cunctator disagrees with many people here on many points. But he does it as a community member and doesn't demean others or their culture and insist that only he is correct and also demand things (not to mention your assertion that you think most humans as "inferior lifeforms" and that you are the "world's foremost authority" in presumably everything). This type of professed arrogance, true or not, doesn't a community build. And as Jonathan Walther so elegantly said " The Encyclopedia doesn't exist to support the community; the community exists to support the Encyclopedia." So with a fractured or sick community, the Encyclopedia suffers.
I do wish you can come back in a week and start working with the community instead of against it.
