Lets face it lads
Chess is the ultimate sport
>no niggers
>depends on high iq and brain power
>>69260599
Are you the guy who always posts the rankings?
Takes a lot of hand-eye coordination to pick up the pieces and place them on the correct squares.
>>69260627
>depends on high iq and brain power
>>69260622
No

>>69260599
>no niggers
>I rate Bobby Fischer
>>69260778
do you call everything that's black a nigger?

chess pieces are not subhumans

>implying board games belong on /toy/

>implying chess is not a sport
how delusional are you?
Sport=making muscles work Brain=muscle that uses most oxygen in body Chess=using brain therefore chess=sport
>>69261093
>Brain=muscle
>>69261093
is e-sport a sport too?
>>69261154
competitive and requires brainpower therefor sport
>>69260599
>OP was never good at any sports as a lad and was always picked last in futball
But at least you had chess right?
>>69261318
played football for 10 years and was usually in the best tier (a and b). Had to quit because lack of time
>>69261318
Checkmate.
stop trying to force the chess as a sport meme
for perspective we'll let stacraft in way before chess
>>>/tg/
>>69260599
I saw a film about Bobby Fischer the other week. Was pretty good.
I like chess and can appreciate its level of skill, but holy shit I suck at it. Can't be bothered learning hundreds of openings just so I don't get curb stomped.
>>69260778
WE WUZ KANGS N ROOKS N SHIEEET
>>69261341
Did you become a dentist or something?
>>69260599
It's now just a game of memorization... That's why Fischer quit.
>>69261379
>we'll let starcraft in way before chess
weeb kiddie pls go
there have been chess threads on /sp/ for at least the past 4 years
>>69261154
The fighting game tournament EVO will be on ESPN 2 this year
>>69261402
>>69261576
>muh openings
>muh all memorization
This is what people who are bad at chess say to make themselves feel good
It's not the truth. You can get to master strength without having to do any significant amount of opening study. "Chess is 99% tactics" is not just a meme
>>69261613
This, practice tactics and master a couple openings and you will become better
>>69261637
You don't even have to master a couple of openings, just don't do anything stupid.
>>69261690
Its hard to not do something stupid when you are subhuman.
chess = best sport
>>69261728

Is monopoly a sport? What about draughts?
If chess is so good how come even computers can play it?

A team of autistic programmers.
>>69262298
Autistic programmers can only get so far on their own. Computers are dumb and need help. Deep Blue's evaluation function (the thing that tells it whether a position is good or bad) for example was developed by a team of experienced chess players, including a former US champion
>>69261154
e-sport =/= sport
if e-sports was a sport it would be called sports...
also is not a sport, is just a game. typical manchildren behaviour in order to legitimate their manchildren hobby.
Chess boxing is the ultimate sport
exactly for discussion like these this excellent flowchart has been created
>>69262343
>shit boxers who are also shit at chess
I don't see the appeal beyond meme value
>>69262353
This chart proves chess is a sport
Thanks Medipack

Technically, they are inferior to humans.
>>69261576
Fischer quit because he was too affraid to lose. That's why you americans make your own sports.
>>69261310
Not the definition of sport. Sports are athletic activities and require physical exertion.
>inb4 I sweat when I play chess
Maybe you should eat less whales hot pockets.
>>69262370
But it requires neither cardiovascular nor muscular exertion in any appreciable amount.

Could deep blue be programmed to fuck my wifes sons mother better than me?
>>69260627
This has got to be the most RETARDED post ever. To actually think chess only requires picking up pieces and placing them down goes to show how ignorant you are. I bet when you watch physical sports, you don't pay attention to defensive plays or strategies but rather only if the ball goes in or not.

>iceland triggered
can i hug you?

Yeah they did, the chart of the other medikit anon and most definitions of sports mention those.
Didn't /sp/ have some mildly trolling Chess general years ago?
Following the rules of that general, Iceland is not allowed to post.

such intelligence

Average person here can't even remember what they ate for lunch two days ago
>>69262539
You're thinking of the Norwegian "You can only post in this thread if you have a player in the top 10" threads. They weren't years ago, they were recent.
We did have semi-regular serious threads a few years ago whenever there was a big event
>>69262664
>muh memorization
Easiest way to spot somebody who doesn't have a clue
>>69262664
sport is about MEMORISing the game. football = MEMORISE tricks and how to react to certain situations. same with chess
>>69262831
it will never be as respected as having the flair for the unconventional
don't know how much possibilities for that are there in chess

If Professor Stephen Hawking can do it, it's not a sport. With help, he could play chess, therefore chess is not a sport. Snooker and darts, however, are sports, because if someone helped Stephen Hawking with those, they'd be the ones playing.
>>69264268
Chess is a game and car racing is a pastime.
not every competition has to be a sport damnit
i enjoy chess and even vidyas, but only insecure feggits insist on the "sport" tag just to feel validated

I usually play 1. d4 with white, Caro-Kann against 1. e4 and a number of different QGD or Slav variants against 1. d4. Against the English-Reti complex, I normally play a Slav-like setup with pawns on c6 and d5 to take the edge off the bishop on g2.

What's better, chess or cheese?
Unnacceptable answers:
>eating cheese while playing chess
>>69265536
Cheese
Not even close
>>/tg/
>>69265536
Chess.
Chess helps you to improve your thinking.
Cheese makes you fat and and deteriorates your overall health.
