#368 it's the message not if it happened or not the point is if rich people get too greedy they get burned back (not always true but it happens)

Even if your smart you will pay the price for harming the people who were unlucky and not smart.
Haven't heard that one before. Very good.
The story has no basis in reality.
It's a whatever they call stories which have a moral point. A kind of pointed joke. An allegation or something. 
Maybe @long_squach thinks chess players are stupid and that it's easy for him to be right?
I'm getting that impression.
That's not a fable that actually happens 😑

It's called a fable, like Aesop's Fables.
It's the way philosophers teach like Budha and Jesus.
I'll give you a fable, a parable.
A stupid person drinks alcohol and drives a car. He is a danger to himself and other people.
That's the fable of stupid people being a danger to themselves and society.
I thought more like an allegory.

That is what makes it a good fable.
No it doesn't a good fable actually has a point to it a message to be heard all the message is "don't be stupid " I'm sorry bro but that isn't good enough you need an action like don't steal or be nice to poor people
Dude we are a bunch of chess nerds we can nerd fight all you want whenever you ready to agree to disagree....
Fables are different. They're fictional stories often, with a moral point but which tend to have a selection of fantastic characters.

Ever heard of Aesop's Allegories?
Was that allegory which you related from Aesop then?
I don't think the allegory about the well is in that category but you're entitled to your different opinion.
The film Spartacus in the early 1960s was exceptionally popular. Nice talking to you and I have to extract fish pie from the oven and serve it up maybe with some green Haricot beans for my wife and me.
Chess is a board game.
This is what happens when there are 4 experts in yappolgy
long quach is really good at speaking non sense. Long quach is lucky as my keyboard is broken.

Chess is use of 'spare time' and reflects the privileges and options to so use that time.
Like anything else - if one over-invests in something there are negative consequences.
But what would be over-investment for many would not be over-investment for many others.
----------------------------------------
People introduced to the game who know its rules like what checkmate is and how the pieces move ...
will often ask: 'is there a system of openings I can use with both white and black - to cut down on study time of openings? So that I can at least get through to the middlegame or endgame without getting clobbered fast?'
The answers they get vary tremendously.
Openings don't seem to be about 'efficiency' ...
they don't seem designed to be either.
Controversy about 'best openings' versus 'efficient openings' has been raging throughout the history of the game.
That controversy could be called 'playing chess'.
He really should have s reddit account this would be perfect for him @long_quach why chess.com account just to argue for 2 years straight I understand liking to argue but sheesh ....
