is chess the easiest game ever invented?

There is nothing to it. You just move pieces on a board and your opponent beats you. Ther's no intellectual activity involved on your part whatsoever. Only other game slightly more difficult than chess is backgammon. Because there is throwing of dice activity involved and it requires burning enerygy which makes you more intelligent than just playing chess.

I hope this is a joke.

moving pieces also burns energy

if backgammon is the only game that is harder than chess, it implies that chess is the 2nd hardest game. therefore, all other games are easier than chess, and chess cannot be the easiest game ever.

Chess can be easy if you don't think, like the people that dont know that Ther's is actually writed as There's.

1- not a joke, truth

2- in backgammon you move pieces as well

3- backgammon is slightly more difficult than chess. all other games are extremely difficult for an average chess player.

Snakes and ladders? Draughts requires less thought and less movement.

Like this is a pretty bad attempt at trolling. Stay on chess.com for a while and you may eventually become a decent troll, TheSongRemains

I'll give this answer as if it weren't a joke thread.

Well your wrong in the sense there IS intellectual activity involved. More so then most board games bar Go and extreme versions of Cluedo, probably one or two others as well, but they aren't half as common as chess is. Maybe some could argue for risk. Are you telling me there is no intellectual activity involved in making hundreds of calculations, visualising potential positions and analysing complicated board patterns and positions... All under a 1 hour 45 min or so (sometimes more, usually less) time limit? Where every game and position is different in some way from most, if not every other game you've ever played?

Does several hundred years of theory and brilliant players, who have spent their lives working out the best positions using both intense maths (I,e probability) and common sense not count something towards the complicated nature of the game?

Anyway, that is such an awful description of chess. Let's describe other games and sports in the same way. So your telling me there all useless?


Running around using your legs to hit a ball into a big square thing. Half of its luck and how fit and what potential talent you had as a kid.
-football

Just getting to some arbitrary line before some other people. Apparently being able to do so makes you better then them?
-Sprinting

Hitting some random ball with some stupid bats over a net put there so the game isn't boring around random painted lines meant to make players not actually exert energy.
-Tennis

Literally moving pieces with more or less no energy and little skill. Like seriously you have to calculate like3 things and only move pieces one space at a time. Knowing one tactic means you can more or less beat anybody.
-checkers/draughts

Removing blocks for no reason from a big heap of blocks you just made to make it not fall over, which it always does.
-Jenga


These are some of my favourite board game and sports. I just put effort into making them sound like something there not. As you did in the original comment on this thread.

If you learn to kick the ball in football it doesnt mean you know how to play the game

Cats do not understand how to move pieces so they can not play and if you think chess is easy then why are you even playing? And how come you get beaten sometimes? Admit it. You've lost at least once in your life and you asked this question for no reason. And you can challenge me if you want and I'll show you chess isn't easy theSongRemains.

Too much trolling, yet the troller can't spell or use grammar correctly. No point of trying to change his mind at this point. Any other arguments in this thread are pointless.

Nah the easiest game ever invented would be Minecraft. Fits your description exactly, except instead of moving pieces you place blocks.
