Monkey playing chess?

I found this article discussing if a monkey could play chess? Its quite an interesting read and prompted me to make my profile image. Interesting read in my opinion. http://tartajubow.blogspot.com/2019/10/could-monkey-play-chess.html

I also really like this image from the site, that cheezy grin lol. I just wanted a pic without the

That's not a monkey. It's a chimpanzee.

I wonder if that monkey could play Chess!

Dolphins, too. But you'd have to separate one from the pod and that's too stressful.

Of course monkeys can play chess, and way better than humans thank you very much. The only reason we lose is because of our moral superiority. Humans have very tender feelings, and unlike humans, we don't feel any compulsion to prove how smart we are.

chess is easy
