board games are just ideas too. without our imagination chess is just a jumble of oddly shaped lumps. The only reason the lumps have any meaning, is because we agree that they do, and we agree on what the meaning is.

Johnnytheglizzygobler, I was wondering if you were saying that chess is more complicated than a board game or what were you saying in the post I quoted you in?
