Chess, the game itself, is not luck based. It's skill based. Build up ideas, learn, etc, and you'll improve. Improvement comes from gaining skill, and gaining skill comes through learning.
But what I'm saying is that skill is also a form of luck.
Therefore, in the end, the result in chess is always determined by luck.
How is skill gained through luck?
with good genetics (an efficient brain) or having free time to study chess.
ugg genetics is only part of it goof even with good genes there are just as many people with those"good genes" you have to compete against anyway so it doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things and even then genes still don't determine everything how you learn chess from the start is also important if you learn chess a bad way you could stagnate alot more even if your so called "good genes " exist .
When I refer to 'good genes,' I mean the brain's capacity of each individual.
For example, Magnus has the best brain in history for a chess player because he has an impressive memory.
Even at his elite level, no one has that incredible ability to remember past games, to recall patterns he might have studied 20 years ago.
No matter how hard the great Hans Niemann tries, he will never reach the level of the Norwegian
Niemann doesn't have the luck of having superior genetics like Carlsen
why would hans neimann need to get to the level of Magnus he already got the compliment of Magnus calling him a cheater since hans beat him besides hans neimann is actually fairly close even tho he's like 10 years younger its not completely unrealistic to say Hans could get better than Magnus at some point even if its unlikely he still has ten years of practice to catch up on
At Hans Niemann's age, Carlsen already had an Elo of 2800, the American doesn't stand a chance, we have to be realistic.
Hans has great talent, but Carlsen's ability, especially in the way he plays endgames, is something no one can reach in terms of brilliance.
Okay. I go to a casino and play the slots. There's no skill there. I have a fixed probability. Chess isn't a fixed probability. I can increase my probability through playing more games, studying, puzzles, etc. Therefore it isn't all luck. Skill is a factor.
And a very important factor it's only consistently 50/50 because it's designed to be able to play against people at the same SKILL level as you consistently
