What's „but no”?
Gregg-Turkington

The opposite of “But yes”.

Fetoxo
Sorry, not this. I understand english clearly. I think why do you said „but no”?
Gregg-Turkington

To counter your previous comment.

Fetoxo
Which?
Gregg-Turkington

The one before your “but no”comment.

I’m not going to hold your goddamn hand and explain this conversation to you. If you can’t keep up, leave the forums. You lack reading comprehension; I am not going to help you with that.

Tails or Shadow

I would think Shadow or Tails. You could argue that Eggman would also be good at playing chess due to his high intellect, but with his focus on wanting to prove he’s better and fixating on particular opponents, I think he would have difficulties with chess strategy. Tails is of course, boy genius, and with his wide array of intellectual prowess, it would make sense if he was an exceptional player, BUT he has not been shown to be a particularly strategist as far as I know (though still better than Sonic), so he would definitely be a higher level, but probably not Hikaru or Magnus Carlesen level. Shadow, I head canon played chess with Maria and Gerald Robotnik so he’s totally a grandmaster (I mean, look at my pfp). Or if I’m being serious lol, I do think he played with the ARK Robotniks and with his 200 IQ is definitely incredibly good at chess, but I don’t think he has the ability to keep his cool enough not to be distracted. There’s a possibility he would have difficulty sacrificing pieces because of his in-built need to protect (The Queen reminds him of Maria.. /jk). Also Belle The Tinkerer from the IDW, as she’s a friendly wooden puppet, I’m pretty sure her code allows her to be a master at chess, though she gladly play weaker to make it more fun for her opponent. Hahah I wrote a stupid amount here sorry. I have a Sonic problem. (Also Sonic Boom! Knuckles is certainly the best chess player to ever exist. It’s just a fact of life and no one can convince me otherwise)

I wrote all that in a few minutes yet it takes me hours to do a normal essay…

what kind of essay and wow you are talented! I think maybe silver. He can time travel after all. If not, than probably Rouge maybe? I mean, she is a spy, and is good at sneak attacks.

Witch31415
Ooh Silver is a good point
Flutelo

but then again, she would probably steal pieces off the board while no one is looking

Witch31415
Rouge is as well. She’s probably be slightly higher then average, but probably just doesn’t have the time to really play
Flutelo

she=Rouge

Witch31415
LOL true

Oh I meant essays in general 😅 Despite my love for creative writing…Essays are not my thing
Flutelo

BTW, I agree on Belle. She is a sentient robot, and I agree that she would basically be a 2000-3700 ELO bot in chess.

I think Tot would work best, considering that he’s about the same size as a chess piece.
