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 meh 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.

Of course, a more advanced brain, pure genetics

a father who supported and financed him from a very young age, traveling the world playing tournaments at the age of 9

the incredible luck of Carlsen and how he became world champion through the defeat of Kramnik in the 2013 Candidates in the final game, which allowed him to challenge Anand, even though Carlsen himself lost his game against Svidler in that last round of the Candidates, etc. But the thing is, one round before, Carlsen won a completely drawn position easily against Radjabov, which allowed him to 'fight' until the very last moment against Kramnik, who only needed a draw with black pieces against Ivanchuk in the final round, and still, Vladimir Kramnik lost, playing a very strange Pirc, an opening he never plays

The famous blunder of Anand vs Carlsen in the 2014 World Chess Championship, Game number 6. Carlsen won that game, but he should have lost it.
