20-30 years ago sure. But not anymore. GO is where it's at and even that is in the process of being 'solved', just look at AlphaGO

Chess is for kids who got bored with checkers.

Adults play go.

>>77255537
What?

Chess isn't solved and Fischer never said it was solved, only that he expected it to be solved in the future. As it stands there are lines that are analyzed from move 30 and upwards but those are easy to get out of line, especially for white, although black benefits more playing by the book. There is some truth in that the top chess engines show evidence that with perfect play white will be the winner, or at the very least that white can guarantee a draw.

friendly reminder that the only acceptable first move as white is d4

I'm too lazy to calculate moves so I always play queen's gambit declined either way or e5 and then nc6 if white plays e4.

you always get good boring long games against a computer opponent with these

Chess is not solved, fags. Checkers was solved just 10 years ago and it's a game faaar less complex than chess (programists busted it by simply cataloguing all possible position, a 10-year process that would take millennia for chess).

Also, even in his good days, Fischer was a total lunatic who could barely write, lived with his mother and devoted 9-10 hours a day to studying Soviet chess brochures. Not all of his opinions are to be taken seriously.

Also just because he made some questionable decisions in his life, doesn't mean he's not an authority on the field of chess.

Too much of a bother
>>
>>77269407
you dont need to memorise anything up to master level and even then you can chose to play lines with less to no theory. it truly is the patrician sport, brainlets need not apply.

all these fags saying the sport is solved wouldn't beat a GM, even with an opening book and a computer engine on their side whilst the GM plays blindfolded.

>>77268350
except he did. now gtfo
>>
>>77269451
Yes, you do.

It's way easier memorize and to recognize patterns and situations on the board so you can take the best option, instead of facing a seemingly new situation each time you play.

>patrician sport

Chess was stolen from the Arabs, who invented it.

88, makes me think the IQ system is somehow broken. Subjectively feels more like im a bit above average,especially when it comes to patter recognition.

Also, baseball is a very intelligent sport.

You're thinking of savants. The average autist is like you, think they have high intelligence due to their sheltered lives/hobbies and are good at random things like pattern recognition or numbers but shit at anything else.

But im not, Somehow I seem to be able to handle most tasks a lot easier than most people.

It hit me when I was first given some authority at work. 5 of 10 people seem very slow to me.

Maybe im still in the average but i shouldn't be according to my IQ.

>>77254654
GO is not solved on a theoretical level.

AlphaGO wins against humans by developing "intuition" by self-learning. it's not calculating the raw variations but by pruning and picking the best outcomes using data from millions of games played by top players and against itself.
