Is there such thing as "luck" in chess?

But it happened in the middle of a game of all times

Dio stop trolling, stop being sensitive.

thats still not luck

I was not trolling I was trying to find a scenario of luck

fair, but still not luck

Oh wait I have one! Your doing a queen trade and as your moving the piece to trade back, but then you sneeze uncontrollably and you let go of the mouse and you don't recapture. Now they are up a queen.

thats the body letting out mucus at an inconvenient time, not luck

Lol, okay...I will stop being sensitive and trying to nicely explain things with restraint. Remember later down the road that you asked for it.

I gotchu Dio

Saying "it's computer failure (or body malfunction, or whatever) not luck" that causes players to lose games rather than the players' decisions is meaningless. What chess skills did the winner use to win such games? Is chess not a contest, both players striving to outplay the other? When events beyond the control of either player are the deciding factor in victory/defeat that fits the definition of "luck".

Or do you think winning/losing is not part of the game? Perhaps we could just have judges look at games and award the point on the basis of who created the most artistically pleasing arrangement of the pieces on the board.

No? You're wrong, luck plays no part, luck a concept is being turned into a cliche, you're just being a joke. Winning/losing is not luck.

White to move

Nb5 bRiLlAnT!

loses

me?

Nb5 was a joke

Optimissed, u talking to me or Dio

I am just saying sometimes I feel my opponents get lucky when all of their pieces fall to the perfect places. They check me, I move my king, and 20 moves later my king happens to be on the same diagonal my opponent will promote their queen to, and if it didn't happen that way I could promote my queen the move after their's and it would be a draw. I am sure there are other scenarios like this.

you feel them get lucky?

Yes, that's the only move.
