Is there such thing as "luck" in chess?

I never interacted with Dio and playerafar, also most opinions don't have evidence, that's why it's called an opinion. I supported arguments such as the one at the top of page 240, duh. Also an opinion doesn't need evidence, that includes my opinion too. Also, how do you that it's "only" kids posting btw?

No. You eventually have beef with anyone that does not think you are the smartest person in the room. You have turned on admirers many times in the past when they dared to divert from your way of thinking.

Your favorite quote in that circumstance is a variant of "I thought you had potential, but now I see that you are a/an [some insulting word or phrase impliying low IQ and gullibility]...".

Someone can mouse slip. I thing you start with 0.3 advantage if you are white

Produce them...enough to prove "lots of them". Or admit that you routinely use this "I have an invisible army of people that support me" tactic to prop up your poor reasoning.

You yelling at me, or Optimissed?

No he's saying that you're "mean" and of course there are more mean people on Chess.com bruh.

I always (or so close as to not matter) quote who I am replying to.

I'm definitely not yelling at you. I'm actually impressed by how quickly you see right through Optimissed. Carry on.

Lol, I was suspecting, but I was confused, because some threads have multiple names in them. Like this one, it has my name twice and yours once, it's confusing that's all. Thx for clarifying.

Looks like somebody wants to decide for somebody else and insist that his definition is to be the one. Octopus.
And also - to apply a double standard.
And to suggest that a particular person is not to be talked back to.
I don't think Octopus is going to shut up anybody here.
He seems to think that a particular person can make accusations and claims and that that person is to not be talked back to.
But both of them can be talked back to.
My comments about views and definitions are relevant to the forum topic.
And it was not I who brought up ping pong and tennis.
How fragile and delicate does a person have to be though - to worry and be angry that such subjects were brought up? Very. Mention of other sports bothers somebody?

Thank you.
Fate and chance and randomness are everywhere. And luck.
But so is design and determination.
Its not a binary either or. And that's obvious.
What happens all the time are variations on how much something was luck or fate or coincidence and how much it wasn't. Related: negligence.
Mixtures of the two. Also everywhere.
And people often concern themselves with that. Rightly.

Yes u can say when u r opponent in time trouble then instead of loosing position u can win .

And we had Octopus 'complaining' about 'personal attack'.
Anyway - O insulting Dio is O's way of complaining that Dio always prevails.

Playerafar did we just reply to the same thread? I wrote something like that yesterday, but that thread was smaller.

I dont think so that there is a thing as 'luck' in chess, cuz this is a game about skill.

Also this beef is crazy.

@TanishaM123 Ye, that’s what everyone says

@playerafar Speaking of being invisible, Notice me like Optimissed does!

Remove the trolls and people off their meds. Who's left? Pam? Is that it? Because that is the only sane poster who has ever supported you (not your positions when they happen to coincide...you) in all your years here.

Here we go again talking about people's medication, who has more supporters etc, it's funny but getting old really.

@playerafar

"Looks like somebody wants to decide for somebody else and insist that his definition is to be the one. Octopus."

I don't insist on any definition. I said in the post you quoted we can rigorously analyse the definitions and compare use cases in similar context, for example other games. That way it will be clear which definition is accurate. There are plenty of examples of universally accepted randomness and luck like rolling the dice. Don't see any of those in chess do we.
