I mean everyone seems to want to teach chess, to make people learn the same junk they already learned, engraving a huge black and white checkerboard in the brains of novices as revenge for the fact that it happened to them first ... and that's why its important! Perhaps the original inventor created chess as a joke about intelligent people, to waste their ability! Did this important event happen in the stone age? 

Furthermore, is the game really worth playing or does the game offer inequal chances at best with opening traps that always work? I would really like to see this topic covered briefly :/


You would require the brains of a seriously  dead hen to posit such a question , even as a joke or to elicit cogent responses. I take especial pleasure from beating 17 types of CRAP out of english players. I have lost a truck-load of games [ approx 60 % ] to all and sundry , mainly because It does'nt matter too much  to me , once we have good sport playing . I have only lost to  one or two  english players , and they were all of Irish extraction.  Perhaps , you should take up Bridge ; It keeps women of an  indeterminate age off the streets , so , Pip Pip ! I'm sure you will find the company agreeable.

Chess gives youth opportunity to fight, to middle age chance to gain conclusions and to seniors to build. Chess is universal game, true reflection of life.

Was it the English you didn't like or the English ruling class?

Chess is about as complicated as it gets.  It tests memory, analytical skills and patience, all characteristics of human nature, and present at different levels in different people.  Contrary to common belief, it is not an idicator of intelligence level, especially if one considers judgement to be an indispensible factor in judging intelligence.

(Obviously, if I were at a 2,000 level, I would deny this).Wink

Oh I'm not comfortable, it's true ... My rating is below 2000, and no luck, despite some years of study, I believe not be part of smart people.Eureka, I found the solution in the week, perhaps? Damn, I'm on vacation, I can not do all along ... And I scratch my head.

Chess is a game, a diversion. Some get too caught up in it to the exclusion of all else. Remember it is not life and death and enjoy the competition.

Avatar of Loufoque

But may I add, happily we enjoy the Chess and chess.com. And as our discussions on the board are as informative and beneficial ... Damn I unmasked!

Because nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational poster about being a winner.

In general we call the pieces as "chess men". In real life some people are straight forwarded like rooks. some peoples choose cross ways like bishops.ofcourse among them few choose the white way and few choose the dark way.some people jumps whoever on his way and go like knight.After all everybody knows that the ladies [Queens]  move in all directions.some of them starts their life like pawns and by hard work and by not looking back, they got promoted. All these men have to save the king. By handling all these men, a chess player starts to know the practical life and people, and is capable of handling any men or women of any given suituation  in life. 

Now ladies and gentlemen, tell me "is chess crap" ?

Chess is an enjoyable game at home level and at club level between friends or members of family and neighbourhood !

 

Many people hate chess because of competition at high level, but they can keep from participating in tourneys and only enjoy the games of other players !

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

if you don't enjoy losing, why do you play then?
