I play CHESS and was DISTRACTED BY OUTSIDE INFLUENCERS. That is obviously LUCK and is PART OF CHESS. Because I was playing CHESS.

Therefore we can be in agreement that there is luck in chess

thats not even right u are getting distracted by an external source that doesnt play chess and doesnt affect your moves

It is part of chess if you played in chess tournaments you would know. U shud know about ROBERT JAMES FISCHER in 1972 match with Boris Spassky. Bobby lost the first game because of CAMERAS AND LIGHTS THAT DISTRACTED HIM. That is PART OF CHESS.

 

Even the great chess play "Robert James Fischer" knew that there is luck in chess.

Indeed , the distraction may be outside of chess, but who got lucky? the other one who won the chess game. Think about it. One man's misfortune is another man's luck.

LETS AGREE TO DISAGREE. BUT IF WORLD CHAMPION "ROBER JAMES FISCHER" said THERE IS LUCK, THEN WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH HIM?

Some people just never get it. They are too dumb to understand that. Chess in itself has no consciousness to itself. It is not a living thing. If you're talking about 2 computers playing themselves, then there is no luck involved. It's just programming. But when 2 human beings are involved, there is obviously 'luck' involved. Is it that hard to understand to anyone who says 'luck' isn't involved.?

YOU ARE A VERY SMART AND ELOQUENT PERSON. That is exactly how to describe luck in chess.

its the complete opposite.  Humans have  consciousness and they are the ones determining the moves. You are acting as if the chessboard moves the pieces like computers,  silly.

Hahahaha, you proved yourselves. You're repeating the same thing that I just said. Read it again.

Good job Akshath0.

You have proven that there is luck in chess.

Even though there are many haters that are trying to say otherwise , Ur arguments are better than the haters.

"Luck" simply cannot exist, because when you define something as "lucky", that accusation is based off of your understanding of the event right after it happened. Later, it could possibly lead to a bad situation, and after that it could lead to a good thing. I know you will object and proclaim that an event can only defined as "luck" when the chain reaction of events ends and the final outcome of the first event is determined, but a chain reaction of events like that could never end since time never stops. Plus, even if a chain reaction of events could end. That doesn't mean the first event that started it all is "lucky". 

 

P.S 

I can't wait to here what bizarre arguement you'll come up with.

rakka2000

I don't know what the two of you are talking about.

 

But I agree with Akshath0 because he made good points and you are just haters.

If you want to prove "luck" exists, read my last argument and tell me why it's wrong.

rakka2000

I read it but it was too long and complicated to understand.

Really, is that your best argument?

how old are you?

Mugo345

I made sensible points.

rakka2000

I am older than you, but I only got a C in English in school (in my final year).

 

But I got A in Maths.

Mugo345

But do you genuinely not understand what I wrote?

Mugo345

because it makes perfect sense.

rakka2000

It was very long and complicated so I read it once and didn't understand. Maybe I can read it again, but for now my head is hurting because of reading it the first time.
