A game that's a lot harder than you think it is.
The most underrated game in human history.
A game that has been completely fucked over by ignorant shitheads who spit dirt on the game that now has a reputation of being easy, that "it's just strategy."
Yes, they are right that chess is only strategy. I wonder why they haven't googled "best chess strategies" and become a world champion?
The complexity of the game is summarized best by Grandmaster Huebner: "Those who say they understand chess, understand nothing."

Chess Player: Hey do you play chess?
Non-Chess Player: No, but when I was in 5th grade I beat my teacher! Isn't that amazing?
Chess Player: Smiles and quickly walks away, thinking, "Why do others just can't understand that age has nothing to do with chess! Beating a 50 year old who played only two games in his whole life is NOT impressive compared to beating a 6 year old who've been playing for a year! Do they really think adults played fucking chess their whole life and are supposed to be better? In last tournament I got fucked over by a 13 year old and then beat six adults and got second place with $2,000 prize money. Oh, like this dumbass'll even let me finish that last sentence before he laughts his ass of."

The process of sitting down in front of an Asian person, thinking to one's self, ''Oh, shit, it's an Asian person,'' and losing to said Asian person whilst one comforts one's self that, well, it was okay because it was an Asian person.

Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The game is played by millions of people worldwide. Chess is believed to be derived from the Indian game chaturanga sometime before the 7th century. Chaturanga is also the likely ancestor of the Eastern strategy games xiangqi (Chinese chess), janggi (Korean chess), and shogi (Japanese chess). Chess reached Europe by the 9th century, due to the Umayyad conquest of Hispania. The pieces assumed their current powers in Spain in the late 15th century; the modern rules were standardized in the 19th century.
