chess exists as a part of the collective consciousness. chess boards and pieces and clocks also exist as inventions. but all this is elementary, isn't it Watson ?

Our mind and our body are strictly unified, and not separated. What our brain dictates through the nervous system, our body responds to and relates to.
The best way to lose self confidence is to start doubting about existance.

You fail everything forever (probably). Probably, but since nothing exists, who cares...
An unproven thing is unproven until proven. True.
It is not proven untrue until proven untrue. True.
Prove it untrue or have the weakness of your intellectual processes be assumed (while just an assumption... I'll be pretty confident my assumption is correct). By your own words have you bound yourself.
You'd better sit down. The power of awesome will knock you off your feet.
Your original argument is that chess exists. By your own words, this is, therefore unproven, which, by your own words, means that my statement is simultaneously true and untrue, which means that your statement that an unproven thing is unproven until proven is not proven is not proven, and therefore not true.
You opened the gate to ad hominem with your "The power of awesome..."
I'm not sure by what mechanism you can know what will or will not knock me off of my feet (other than being hit by a bus or raging bull etc.).
Ah, you see, that was not suggesting that your "threshold" of awesome was lacking somehow, and you are quite right that I have a long way to go to reach your threshold of awesome, but I find it easier to work with my threshold of awesome.
Ya know, this would be much easier to do if we actually existed...

if a yes we would have to know for sure to say it and we cant know anything for sure, so no. b if no the world wouldnt exist and thus we couldnt state it doesnt exist so no. c is correct. d is socrates old classical answer but modern school says its wrong because we can have true beliefs about something and they consider it somewhat knowledge. e no because definition of existence means absolute, universal, independent (not dependent on your mind) f. same problem g. same problem as "a" h. same problem as "e" i is saying the same thing as a, because if it were not, it would run into the same problem as h, not including universally, absolutely.
C (according to hyper-modern school), d according to classical school. But modern era we are in so C.
