Is  this great game of chess more in relation to: Martial arts, music, team sports, business, painting or what?

wow that is really a brain buster haha.  I can think of explanations for all of them.  I will have to think for a little while.  The obvious answer is that it is in relation to war! 

chesshole

war, martial arts, politics, business i would say.

onosson

Of those choices, I put music at number one.

shango7

onosson, not my choices;but your thoughts.  Yeah starwraith, can I add love to that also      =*(  when our pieces are in harmony, it is beautiful music.

I once made a blog post wherein I likened it to poetry.

Rather than inviting people to pick one, you could start a list that people could add to, like:

Chess is like martial arts in that...

Chess is like music in that...

and everyone can add ideas to each category, culminating in a master list.

i wouldn't say painting

Rael, are you a professional mediator or something?

shango7

Real, my brother, these are examples of thought not choices demanded!!!! Eh!

shango7

Now Real do you have an answer???????

Rael

@ Ozzie

Something like that... Wink

@ shango7

I'll stick by my poetry comparison!

shango7

Rael, you need to push a pawn and relax--good answer though.

Philosophy. The human dimension of thought is revealed in the movement of the pieces. 

shango7

Ahh pawnsolo2, u r profound--and more poetic than Rael.

Rael

Ouch, talk about hitting me where it hurts. I was only trying to offer a suggestion, shango... Sealed

Oh, and pawnsolo2 is poetic, he's one of the contenders in the Poets and Writers group poetry competition, we're tallying the votes as we speak. I'll let you know if he wins.

shango7

U r cool, and I see how you have racked up so many points.  I'm also a poet so check the joke box, I just might lay one down.

Rael

I've sent you an invite to join the group, Kenny!
