OP is not asking any question, and not even proposing a starting point.

What OP says, is as good as saying "If camels are real, how come birds are flying in the sky?".

This is lousy and sloppy a job.

OP should at the very least, since wants a "discussion", give that discussion any proper starting point.

Non OP spoke. Ugh.

Then answer the question.

The question can be seen at the top of the post. Take it upon yourself to answer. Assume I give you no extra base to aid you with the point or relativity of this question. Just simply look at it. And answer to the best of your ability?

So we'll assume I am questioning just. What can you answer from my question? You disagree that it is a question, as you believe the question in question does not contain the basic relevance to make of a question. But you have not answered the question, but you disagree that it is a question, so I shall ask this. Can you answer the title of the forum?

No, I ask questions on forums. Do you answer them?

Cheeky bit of a bad boy I see *chuckles*. Want I want is answers. What I need are answers. You refuse to repeat yourself, but still refuse to answer the question. So not only can you not give me what I need, you cannot give me what I want. I see no point in the continuation of your commenting on this forum, if all you intend to do is question the question. I look forward to your answer, which I will not get, so I do not look forward to your reply.

Chess is an abstract concept, boards, pieces and notations are just there to help us keep track of the game.

Ok Melvin, you be like that. I was starting to get fond of our chats, and then you turned into a teenager who just insults people. Enjoy your day, hope you find another question to "answer"

No. You're not real. Your name has letters in it. Why discuss with an unreal entity?

Sir, I very much like this answer. I suppose we pave the way for many abstract concepts

Interesting observation. Do you believe that because I'm not real, that the original post does not exist? Discussing with an unreal entity would challenge many preconceived perceptions of ghost sex I suppose, but your denial to answer obviously stems from superstition.

The answer is simple.

Because the numbers and letters tell us were the white and black pieces should be set up (  grin )

Otherwise they might occupy the wrong starting squares...

 

 

And....

let me prempt the humourless....

I'm joking...

Ghost sex? This is now religion, not superstition.

If you cannot read the numbers and letters on the chess board you are asleep and dreaming. If you can read them chess is real. Just say'n.

Jalex13 is asking a secondary question that impugns the implication's connection with your claim. If numbers and letters do NOT influence whether it's a reality, then whether or not there are numbers or letters is irrelevant, which makes the question in the title meaningless.

I couldn’t have said it better.
