Chess is an anti-intellectual game.

Chess requires no analysis and no thought. It's a simple pattern game that a zero intellect gnat could play perfectly. Arriving at this conclusion has nothing to do with intellect and everything to do with rejecting the false gods of this world, the falseness of the world is what blinds everyone to every truth.

Quasi-philosophical ramblings and counterfeit religioso ranting...

None of this is true and none of it belongs here

No

Your quasi-philosophical lameness is indicative of the rote stupidity induced in your brain by the imbecility that is chess. You are a zero intellect player in a zero intellect game of life playing a zero intellect game of chess.

I think we can all agree with that.

Hello, StockfishVersion2023 
My close friend and relative has a high I.Q. She is 1/2 a century years old and throughout all those years, all the I.Q. tests she has taken, she's come up on the top amongst everybody else (if not first place (No. 1) then No. 2 or No. 3 -- on all the tests she's taken (within 50 years -- and that's very many).
She's been a member here on Chess.com for over six (6) years and has played many games; YET her ratings are low! Her low ratings are not a reflection of a low intellect because, as mentioned in my first paragraph above, all her I.Q. tests show otherwise.
I would put it this way. Chess is a structured game (meaning: the pieces can only move certain ways) -- luck is possible with your opponent because the average human being cannot see what moves your opponent will make many moves in advance. And there are literally hundreds of different setups that can happen in Chess.
A grandmaster once was shocked when his opponent won the game (thinking he did not have the intellect and skill to do so).

You need fast parallel counting abilities, if you can count up to 5, you can play chess not so bad, of course you can learn much book/best moves, tactical patterns or even whole games with strategies (i.e. remembering counts of threats and attacks in specific positions and many moves in advance). So chess is intellectual as a game, but restricted to this very specific counting and remembering abilities.

I can't decide if this is a troll post or indicative of psychosis. If you're not trolling then I urge you to talk to your healthcare provider about your belief that the world is false. You're likely to mistrust what I'm saying but the world is our shared reality and when your mind isn't grounded in the shared reality there is a very good chance that you can become much happier and safer, with the appropriate care.

Nope. A high IQ doesn't mean you are a good chess player all the time.

There have been multiple studies that have shown that IQ has no relation to chess playing ability. Also this whole thread is probably the dumbest rage quit I've ever seen

Someone's been losing a lot.

I say it's a solved game. But requires time management.

If you think it's that big of a deal just silently quit.

Also, chess is as intellectual as the effort and brainpower you put behind your moves. So maybe in your case, you're right. Chess is (for you) not an intellectual game. However, for those of us who actually try, and think before we move it is a very intellectually stimulating game.

Well, YOU are a zero intellect PERSON,Deleted mod KS

anti-intellectual SPORT

Here's the only spin of this statement you assert that makes it true. The word "anti" can mean against. In chess you are playing against people, and people who play chess are considered intellectuals. So you are playing against intellectuals, or in other words you are being anti-intellectual.
