What's deeper ? Chess or Mathematics

hi

Games like chess can be described by a branch of Math called Game Theory. There are many other branches in Mathematics and also countless undiscovered mathematical areas waiting to be explored. So the obvious answer is: Math is deeper

Maths of course. Chess is made of maths ( Chess ∈ Maths). We can analyse it by maths, but we can't do the opposite. Chess is only probabilities (a branch of maths), while math unit arithmetic, geometry, statistics, etc... and even numbers which don't exist ! In conclusion, maths are the part of chess which makes it unique an enjoyable.

Both brooo...

Math ultimately deals with or seeks to deal with complexity in all possible worlds and universes. Chess is just one little universe.

According to my son, who is a mathematician, it is impossible to represent chess mathematically. That makes chess "deeper".

(that means "impossible" by any known mathematical means and also by any mathematical means which are forseeable.)

That is not actually correct, although it may seem as if it should be correct. Game theory is not about something as complex as games of chess. It isn't really about games but by turning simple situations INTO games then they can be scored AS IF they were games and effective strategies worked out. Most people do not understand what game theory is, so it's alright.

People spend their lives studying both, so I think from that perspective, both are about the same deepness.

I disagree that chess can be completely represented in mathematics, but also I don't think that math can be represented in chess.

All in all, I have no idea

I personally think math…

Math is deeper because it requires complexity of our logic and problem solving
