I tend to think of chess as a skill but then, so are the fine arts too.
Chess is not an art

Here's a virtual lollypop. Go suck on it.
Mathematics is a modelling device. So you can model a lot of things with it. That's all.
Yep, some folks have no concept of molecular physics but feel they're experts. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect.
"Yes, some folks..." - Hmm, yes, you.
Anyway, I thought you didn't want to discuss this anymore, that you'd had enough. But you just can't resist leaving your comments here, like dog droppings on an otherwise pristine lawn.

And here you're back. Good grief - getting rid of you is harder than wiping dog doo off my shoe. My conversation was not directed to you. You are a child. I don't debate with children.

Yes, a "lot of things", but NOT everything! That was my point, the only point I was trying to make here, but apparently that's far too triggering for some.

I'm sorry, but the doggy doo metaphor was my idea. Gee, you even copy my style!

Exactly. It often boils down to who can set the best trap for their opponent, or who can make the most of opportunities (i.e. mistakes). If there's a strict time limit, it's more about speed. It isn't about "calculations" for Heaven's sake, unless you happen to be a bot.

What the devil is hock tuah?
As for Dunning-Kruger, I never once claimed to be a great chess player, or an "expert" in anything here, so I don't know why that was brought up. However, I DO recognise baloney when I come across it.

@Bel3141592 And here she is again, folks. She singled me out for an attack right from the start. She is a disgusting PUKE, self-centered spoiled worthless brat who got her ego twisted and her wittle feewings hurt because I said I didn't want to discuss my opinions. Good grief ... you really are PATHETIC.

Can we PLEASE END THIS and leave this poor thread AND FORUM in peace without you trying to flaunt your 'manlihood' in people's faces?
Hey, you just complained about being pathetic!
Damned. Gross.

Awwww, you poor thing.
Anyway, you've been reported for trolling. I just thought you should know, because you can't just insult people all the time and think that such behaviour is perfectly fine.
Now GO AWAY!
Lol, ridiculous.

@Bel3141592 oh I'm so terrified!!!! YOU go away. I'm no troll and everyone knows it. I was on this thread long before you and you appear and start attacking. I've reported you as well. You know what I think of you. And I know what you think of me.
LET IT END. I suspect you are too small-minded to do so, however.

This was wayyy back. And still you continue. Wanna go again then?
If you punch hard enough, one of you may eventually make it to hurt the other one through the screen.

She's on a vendetta. She thinks she scares me. hahah. And no, I'm not going anywhere.
chess sometime better than art
Well, since chess is also (arguably) a sport, a science, a mirror to the soul and a thing that decorates nicely your living room, it's hard to beat.
