chess is it .every opening is so deep .math is only 1-9 which is made into multiple numbers. Endgame studies are a must .its soo interesting and so deep. henceforth chess is deeper and I love the game a lot!!

LEarn real math. Some problems can take months to solve

How about centuries:

Fermat's Last Theorem (took 358 years to solve)

Riemann hypothesis (not solved yet)

And there are many others

Good point

Math starts at infinity when chess drops out at 10^120. Not nearly the same cardinality.

Yes. Chess is part of game theory.

i hate math so i wouldnt know but i just like playing chess cause it feels easy to comprehend and play right from the moment you wield a piece or even going to a tournament, the experience is just very fun and math would probably be more complicated but again i dont really have any opinion on it as i focus more on chess and i hate when they are compared

Somehow, chess is included in math... So it is obviously much deeper.

Easiest question on the forums>>> Math

Chess, obviously. Just kidding. To "solve" chess you don't need anything complex, you just need a lot of computational horsepower. A 32 piece tablebase is easily solved with enough computational power.

Math is the language of the universe. It is how we imagine the building blocks of life.
Chess is a game/sport which is a byproduct of imagination.

Good luck building anything like rockets or nukes without math.

Math is so... much... deeper.

Alright, don’t get me wrong here. I know that chess is extremely deep, speaking in a general contest, but comparing it to Mathematics? 

Really?

Totally agree 

chess is just a tiny piece of dust in universe of math and logic...

Wits-end

Music is also described as the universal language. However, music can be broken down to basic elements of math. Tempo, sound level, frequency, and even silence are all measured mathematically. Put together in precise, or in the case of avant-garde compositions (which still are an exercise in math) not so precise, notation music can evoke many human emotional responses. But it can all be boiled down to math. All that for “Yellow Submarine” eh? Now chess on the other hand can also bring out emotional responses, not all human i might add, but they have little to do with music.
