who let the dogs out?
can dogs learn how to play chess
Sort:
seriously there haven't ever been any grandmasters who have taught a dog or any animal for that matter how to play chess?
I don't know this from anywhere
But I'm gonna say with 100% certainty
No

It's the "seriously" part that's so depressing.
I was just curious. I mean some dogs are supposed to be smarter than people so even if it couldn't make the moves do you think it'd theoretically be able to understand the game ?

I think they have other things on their mind, which makes them smarter than people.

Although in all fairness, I have run into a few animals down at the club.

Dogs can play poker; I guess they can learn how to play chess too.

I didn't know they had actual photographic evidence of dogs playing poker? Though it could be photoshopped, you never know.

There's an app for that.

Yes they can,but they are not very good. I beat my dog almost every game.
I'm sure Pavlov could teach dogs to,say,salivate at e4,bark at d4,growl at c4.I'm not sure if he could teach them the morra gambit though..

probably an e4 opening, but I played a parrot once who knew the first the first 10 moves of th caro kann..
But did it understand the ideas behind the moves?
just wondering if there are any dogs that can play chess and if so how do they play and how do they learn?
