Why do they never play actually difficult games like Shogi or Go?

>>80773851
A lot of western moviegoers aren't really familiar with those games. Besides chess may not be a hard game to learn but it is a hard one to master. Go is pretty much the exact opposite.

What's worse is when the chess part of the metaphor makes no sense, even to an absolute amateur who'd played maybe 20 games of chess.

Read one book where a military genius basically said, of the chess game, 'the purpouse of a sacrifice is not always to gain a tactical advantage, but often to unsettle, panic and shock your opponent, and to radicallly change the character of the game.'

Like, a)in a casual game you have practically infinite time to examine the situation, you can't really make your opponent scared of you with a sacrifice because they can take their sweet time and damn near make sure they know what your options are, and b)changing the character of the game is pointless if it's not in your favour. And this was an author who's usually quite good.

Same guy said 'if you overthink things you'll paralyse yourself into inaction, be daring and don't think things through to an inneficient extent.' Again, it made perfect sense as a metaphor for fighting a war, but chess is all about being absurdly careful and conservative and taking your time.

Well if there's even a situation where there are several players in and there are cards in the table for royal flush it's not exactly an anomaly that several players have great hands.

>>80774976

I was thinking about the scene in Maverick where they play regular 5 card draw.

>>80775008
I thought everyone would think about Casino Royale when talking about poker draws like that. But yeah, that's obviously much more unlikely and much sillier writing.

>>80774597
take the "red" pieces and build up a coordinated defense and just wait till the black Kang pieces start jumping each other and making a mess of that side of the board and then take over.

>>80774694
Now that I think of it that wasn't the worst of it. Now the game was a chess analogue so it took some guesswork, but here's what I think happened at one point to demonstrate the power of sacrificing pieces. The genius moves a piece forward to where it can obviously be taken. His opponent takes it. He makes his spiel about sacrifice, then moves a rook across the board to take the piece that took the sacrifice piece. He is portrayed as super smart for this, for laying a 2 turn trap to get his opponent to take a piece to move into the attack line of his rook. That is a move that could never work past someone's third game of chess but this proves he's a tactical genius.

It's the Emperor from 40K by the way.

It's from The Outcast Dead, so the same guy who wrote the last church. Last church was a better portrayal too, because the Emperor got to talk so casually about his beliefs. He's a lot more aloof and vague in this.

>>80776994
I haven't read the outcast dead.

I liked the last church but I have the same issue with that that I did with the ending of a brave new world and Picture of Dorian Grey. A philosophical debate where one person is clearly far more intelligent than the other.

But yes the last church was great at getting an invite into the emperor on a more human level

I've only read up to outcast dead, so book 17. You might have read further than me. Just in case, last few books I read had two major, top tier stand outs-'A Thousand Sons' and 'The First Heretic.' 'Prospero Burns' was also really good, it's just the way it used its word count bothered me so I don't rate it as high as the previous two. I do listen out for the popular opinions though and I hear that Betrayer, Know no Fear, and the Master of Mankind are also top tier for the heresy. You know yourself it's mostly a series of 90 percent stand alone books so you could pick any of those up. Short stories 'The Iron Within' also stands out.
