chess is a boring game for boring people.

Also raw power trumps strategy. why waste time strategizing when you can just destroy your opponant with an attack that can wipe out an entire continant in one move.

it is funny isnt it. wasting time strategizing when you can defeat your opponant right off the bat with one decisive strike. time saved too.

The game is too hard for you. Nothing wrong in admitting it.

That does nothing to address the point i made. my skill in chess is irrelevant wether im good or bad.

strategies become less and less powerful as technology advances. ancient rome could never beat an army using modern weaponry no matter how good their strategies are for example.

a cowardly accusation. is this what you do every time valid points are presented. accusations of trolling seems to be the go to insult by people to dismiss someones claims without having to present any counter argument.

thats called an ad homiem.

but what when both have the same strenght then strategy is important. Strategy is also not just a war skill. Nowadays strategy is absolute more important in your live when it comes to bussiness jobs in leading positions. You have to make economical decisions and without strategy your bussiness makes no profit. Think about that then chess helps you to learn to think logical.

the goal is to always become stronger to nullify any so called strategies. for example chuck norris could never beat superman in a fight. overwhelming strength always wins.

In the real world things are never so Black and White. Sure, at the surface level for room temperature IQ normies combat could seem simple. Researching, engineering, developing, construction, logistics, maintenance, deployment are all part of a stratagem. There is no magical button that wipes continents from existence without prior forethought, intent and preparation.

what about superman sneezing away an entire planet by accident. or how about when you accidentily step on an ant.

no strategies or thought was involved in their destruction.

strategy only works when your opponant is in striking distance.

just like how the earth could never over come a super massive black hole.

[Guldo]

a good strategy can win but it doesnt always win, another good example is the modern us military fight a bunch of cave men who only have stones and clubs lol. what strategies do the cave men use to win.

Chess is real and is a game. Superman isn't real. Walking on an ant is real, but it isn't a game. There are no rules and no goals when you just happen to step on an ant without even knowing it. There is no satisfaction, no contemplation, no appreciation of the preparation to the ant being walked on.

There is no such things as modern military trying to eradicate cavemen unless you're a ten year old playing with plastic toys.

Further than that, chess doesn't have to be compared to acts of destruction and dominance over an ennemy. You don't get out a bazooka to eradicate your aunt from existence, but you can get a chess board to enjoy time with your aunt.

A game of chess isn't time wasted. It's time enjoyed which your "one decisive strike" concept isn't. Getting people out of your way by pointing a gun at them is rather boring and counter productive if you're trying to socialise. Blowing your oppenent in one strike is not the reason people play chess. Games are a form of sharing and communion we could say.

May I add. You've come to this forum to socialise. You're trying to make a provocative point and then argue about it. You're playing a social game at this very moment and I'm pretty sure chess is much more interesting than arguing about wether it's better for superman to blow up the planet or sit down and play chess. That's just silly lmao.

people play chess for more than thousand of years, there are as much combinations as stars so chess is the world famous board game based to the history. It is easy to learn but hard to master it is a game which brings old and young people together. Chess helps even to improves your abstract and logical thinking. Its the same with maths some people love it some hate it because it is hard work to be good in maths.
