Chess is just a Game of luck
Sort:
I disagree with your assertion that statistics is just an illusion. In a book called Moneyball, the protagonist uses statistics to determine which player is best suited for the upcoming game. He meets with great success. In real life as well, many teams make use of this, like the Giants, which don’t give players very high salaries relative to other teams.

I guess that the opening post is sarcasm or parody of something. But I don't get it.
what opening
Your first post.
It clearly isn't serious, but I don't get if is supposed to be funny or witty or what.
you didn´t get it
it´s all about determinism, this is all about , this thread
so everything is luck
Yes, but this is just dumb. It's not a real insight, it's just something that's obviously nonsense.

No, chess is a game of skill with a very small element of chance.
Negative, what you call skill is just the luck of having a brain or genetics better suited.
When two players are at a similar level, the result is said to be 50%, like flipping a coin. But this is actually an illusion because the outcome is already determined in time. Therefore, one player always has a 100% chance of winning or losing that game.
lol 
not even gonna correct this if your around equal skill level it is about 50 50 obviously but that isn't always the case also yes there is some luck/chance but no it isn't all luck you don't just randomly "chose' 99% of your moves you have some background knowledge before hand when you play tell me is knowing how to play an opening luck? is knowing how to count to 10 luck? oh wait that's pattern recognition not luck... sure luck can be involved expecally when you don't have any idea of what your doing but PATTERN RECOGNITION IS NOT LUCK.
besides your talking about a very elementary level of determinism... or any other thing that involves true random
If that's your definition of luck, then any sport has the exact same problem. You're just showing that humans are fallible. You could also beat Usain bolt in a sprint if he tripped or injured himself, is sprinting all of a sudden luck based? Obviously not.

You don’t get anything.
That user keeps bothering me, saying that their account is older than mine, and I already told them that I have an older account on Chess.com than they do.
That’s why I say I’m older.
You just proved that you’re just another hater who reads without understanding anything.

I think it’s sometimes luck and sometimes experience or talent but there is nothing like skill
