I'm actually glad I watched this. It makes me wish America venerated mental games like chess/go/shogi as much as they do physical games like football/basketball/baseball

Taikyoku shōgi or get out.

Computers being invincible at them made them shit. Computers being able to crush puny humans with their perfect steel bodies during football would just make it better. Checkmate nerds.

>>52192203
So getting their egos crushed that they can't beat a computer is why Americans care only about physical talent and sports?

No. It's because (((they))) made americans drooling fat retards on purpose with bacon-bread and football games.

We do though, Chess is extremely well respect in the West.

I can tell you now a Chess Grand Master will get paid more than any of them and the tournaments will attract more people.

American football is a mental game.

Just not for the goons that actually stand on the field.

Sports are mental games too, just watch one for a season and you'll see the tactical side of sports.

>getting paid to play games all day

This sounds like a dream come true...

>every single match, every single move, is recorded and preserved

Oh god what.

I mean, even then the tactical aspect gets SUPER overplayed in media and the general cultural zeitgeist.
