You could quite have liked the person who came to my door. They play chess, and I have never lost to them. Which is why we no longer play chess.
If Albert Einstein played chess he could have been one of the greatest Chess Player🏤🏡⛲

Maybe most do think he would have been a very fine player. Every reason to think so. But, chess would never have made him as famous.
Sorry to say this, but the name Lasker is not a household word today, except in the relatively small chess milieu.

if Einstein played chess, he would have been famous for a much simpler equation, 64=8 squared.

If Carlsen came to my door, I would offer him a beer. If Fischer came, I would offer him board and lodgings.
If Kasparov came he could stay for a week.
Come to rethink it, maybe Bobby would not do the dishes, so I would have to send him out into the cold again.
If Einstein came, he would have to bring his fiddle, and I would invite a few of my musician friends to disturb the neighbours. Actually, I think quite a few of them would want to come in and listen and talk about relatively little.

If Judit, or oone of her sisters came, they could make me a cup of tea, if they wanted a decent one, and they could eat some cake.
What about Hou? Trouble is she would really have to wait, as I would probably have to go out and buy what she would like. But, I think she would be very entertaining in her quiet way!
But, the Nimzovich would not be welcome for very long, unless he promised to rewite his books in terms which I could easily understand.
But, come to think of it, Aron taught me about pigs on the 7th very well, and few players about my ranking and below have really understood that.
But, Nimzo on Openings! Forget it, he explained very little.
"Emanuel Lasker was undoubtedly one of the most interesting people I came to know in my later years. ... I am not a chess expert and therefore not in a position to marvel at the force of mind revealed in his greatest intellectual achievement - in the field of chess. I must even confess that the struggle for power and the competitive spirit expressed in the form of an ingenious game have always been repugant to me. I met Emanuel Lasker at the house of my old friend, Alexander Moszkowski, and came to know him well in the course of many walks in which we exchanged opinions about the most varied questions. ... it seemed to me that chess was more a profession for him than the real goal of his life. ... the chess playing of a master ties him to the game, fetters his mind and shapes it to a certain extent so that his internal freedom and ease, no matter how strong he is, must inevitably be affected. In our conversations and in the reading of his philosophical books, I always had that feeling. ... I liked Lasker's immovable independence, a rare human attribute, in which respect almost all, including intelligent people, are mediocrities. ... I am thankful for the hours of conversation which this ever striving, independent, simple man granted me." - Einstein (1952)

Maybe but the plug connectors and power ratings differ so much between countries that compatibility is a serious issue.
You did ask ...
Einstein didn't like chess. He thought that chess prevented great minds from flourishing
Yes strong memory is the secret of a great chess player.
To remember past games and moves,
And to be able to sit on ones backside for long long period's ..
If Einstein would've been good at chess and would've strived to become world champion, we now wouldn't have nuclear physics and wouldn't know how fast light travels.
I wonder, would we miss it?
