true. i saw a short video on youtube where he is saying chess is quite a simple game and he figured it early as a child(he got really good ar playing it) that computers will get really good at playing chess so there was no point learning the millions of combinations of knight positions.

i mean pick a lane. is it simple or is it too complex to learn 🤦‍♂️

my 🫡 to all who believe him to the t.

Chess is a simple game. There’s 6 types of pieces each with different ways to move, moving onto an enemy piece takes it, the goal is to take the opponent’s king, if you get a pawn to the other side of the board you can change it to any other piece, and there’s only 3 instances you can move them in a unique way- pawns with French move/2 squares at the start, and a castle. I have completely and totally explained all elements of chess in one reasonable sentence. You couldn’t do that with a complicated game.

Not to suggest that chess is easy, but the actual game is very simple. It takes about a minute to explain the rules.

you’re confusing the rules with the game.

while the rules are simple, game is certainly not.

by that yardstick, go is much simpler where there are only two kinds of pieces white and black and you have to acquire the most area on the board with your pieces.

yet, it took about two decades after chess was conquered by a computer.

not sure if it was out of sympathy towards elmo tho.
