        Autists don't care about these things. They're not trying to have fun or be good at anything, they simply want to shit on things. Hilariously if they were ACTUALLY autistic they'd probably be amazing at chess since that's basically the reason Carlsen has been so dominant.

        Chess is unironically one of the best designed games in the history of the planet. It's such a simple ruleset but the potential for depth is ridiculous. Next time someone tells you strategy games need fog of war, ask them why chess doesn't need it.

    Chess does not require skill so its not a fun game. Its one of these games that simply require a lot of mindless memorization, endless practice to stay sharp and a lot of experience. All you need to do to be good at chess is to simply play it all the time.

    Chess can never be a perfect game because black is always at a disadvantage because white always goes first and black does not get compensated for this in anyway. It's inherently not balanced and can never be so it literally can not be perfect.

      Except chess competitions play a series of matches where both players play both positions
      When you play white you go for a win
      When you play black you go for a win or a draw
      The winner is generally he who gets the most wins as white and the fewest losses as black
      There's nothing wrong with asymmetry inherently

      so what's the solution?

      I think a rule that white can't make a double pawn move until black uses one could help reduce white's potential to control the board without entirely erasing the advantage of having the first move.

          Chess is a somewhat solved game, but the process of learning it can be challenging and fun. And you need to be intelligent to get good at chest. Which doesn't mean that if you're not good at chess you're stupid. Its not a two way bridges. Its still a very complex game to learn.

              Pure, raw, "stupid" memorization (without understand the reasons why such and such moves are played) would be outclassed by someone that incorporates logic and understanding to their memorization, if that makes sense. Yes, you're going to grind pure memorization either ways, but its all about making it efficient so you can "compress" knowledge in your head.

            Thats why I think the game is the best in the begining. I loved it when I started. I got out in the rank 1100 at 1st, but because I sucked I even dropped to 800's. The most fun I had was getting back up and learning how to play. I say that between 800 and 1400 I had the most fun and loved playing it every day for hours. Once I got to 1500 Is the part where I stopped thinking and learning and by the time I reached 1800 I got bored. The game became a routine that I litrraly did while doing something else. I completly stopped thinking. Once I realized that I quit the game.

        Only cucked feminist men think otherwise, and anyway women don't even acknowledge the existence of men they think are inferior. When women think of men they either think of a rich CEO, a skilled tradesman who can fix anything or a rapist that is stronger than themselves, they only recognize the existence of men who are superior, they never think of a poor CEO, a moronic Joe Blow who fails his repair or a twig guy rapist that drugs his victims rather than physically dominating them.
