...according to your interpretation of the "broad concept".
..that you just conceded is what "people" mean by luck i.e. that I am actually referring to the general definition of the word.
If you wish to claim that within the context of chess we are forced to narrow the definition (or even redefine it) then you need to give an argument why.
"Not a valid reductio ad absurdum, more of an appeal to extremes that doesn't quite get there. If we were being consistent, we'd be talking about the game of chess and the luck designed into and contained within an instance of the game. No lottery winners or deterministic universes to be had."
The argument works as is evident from the fact that you have just asserted that it doesn't work without giving any concrete reason. Or rather, the closest you come here to giving a reason is your argument that "luck" should be defined in a special way in this context, for which see my previous paragraph.
Oh no, it's Coolout junior.
See, the definition of the word "concede" is *not* really a very broad concept. It requires that I actually concede (and ideally that you acknowledge it graciously), not that you unilaterally declare it. This is just a bad debate tactic you should have learned to avoid in Debate class in high school.
A broad concept allows for numerous narrower usages in various contexts...you can go dig up where I compare the word "luck" to the words "love" or "snow" and explain this, if you need clarification. I don't actually need to personally give you yet another go 'round of why the definition of "luck" as it applies to game design is narrower, though. That would require that I care to convince you.
Like the subject of your incredibly appropriate avatar, you seem to be narrowing your eyes at something that might be confusing you.
That's your answer??? The entire gaming industry, as well as the people who have studied the matter are fraudulent and just doing it for job security??
Could see this in another thread.
Chess is a sport, as acknowledged by many sporting bodies from the local Spokane Sports Commission to the international Olympic Committee.
At least that's an answer. I disagree of course because it conflicts with not only the dictionary definition but also the large majority of the population and many other sporting bodies as well. But at least it's an answer.
His idea of an answer is to collect a bunch of words, shuffle them around, throw them up in the air and have them land randomly on the computer screen. I would say there is certainly a degree of luck involved in his responses relating to the actual question.
