Why chess
Sort:
Make one for us so we can find out.
hmmmm i'm not sure
I thnk its to do with the fact its got so many possibilities for both sides of our brains to work so we can think logically and mathmatically and we can use our vision and imagination and creativity as well. Thats what i loved about it, its not a game u get bored with once u understand it, the mean i learned the more it inspired me with all the ideas u can have, because it offers so much of a challange to learn and to find all the combinations and idea's.....
I agree with littleman completely. The possibilites and combinations, etc. The more you learn about the game the more questions you have about it. I do like the logic mixed in with a touch of creativity. And I have always been fascinated with the chess set itself. Add the great and long history of the game and I feel it's the best!!
Chess is a successful comodoty! It looks good in living rooms and everyone wants to play to win. Since we live in a consumerist society, we are conditioned to believe that it is the physical condition of your chess set that matters, when in fact, this is not so. Upon examinating the chess board, we realize that the black and white squares are merely representatives of our subconscious. The white diagonals are pathways into our innermost desires. The way we play on these and the pieces that we choose for these are represetatives of our moral dilemmas. For instance, the bishop is a religious icon, the queen a symbol of love, the knight a symbol of a quest, the tower stands for the longing of security. Because our mental faculties enable us to create these associations, the chess game, with its various combinations of forms and symbols, is a wonderful vehicle for us to subconsciously live out our desires.
And it is also very entertaining!
What about chess is so fascinating for you (and in your opinion)?
I mean it's just a board game with few wooden pieces jumping from square to square and killing each other :) So why is it so god damn interesting do you think? I mean it's not only complexity, we could think of many more complicated games and they won't be so great..
Do you think that if we take a 100-square board and we made up few figures that move in similar or different directions than chess figures the game would be similarly interesting?
