>Saudi Arabia’s grand mufti has ruled that chess is forbidden in Islam, saying it encourages gambling and is a waste of time.

It's happening!
Oh well. How far does his religious power stretch? I hope it's not far, otherwise it'd be a big bummer for all the muslim /tg/ players.
>>44919379

All that oil money and so little common sense.
>>44919379
I bet he never even played chess.
>>44919379

>Real muslims
>Muslims in general
Top kek
>>44919404
A saudi religious nutjob? They can grow some pretty long arms on occasion.
Chess is haram, but raping infidels and killing homosexuals still Halal, truly Islam is a progressive religion of peace, I'm so glad we have Saudi Arabia defending himan rights for the UN.
>>44919404
>How far does his religious power stretch?
Saudi Arabia is largely responsible for 90% of the Islamic terrorism we've experienced in the past 20 years.
Yes, all of it. If he says it should be forbidden, you'll be damn sure Germany and England are going to start de facto banning it within the next 20 years.
>>44919379

Oh well, so long with chess, i hope rpgs aren't banned too
>>44919712
You're assuming Saudi Arabian bookstores are even allowed to sell anything but copies of the Koran & Hadith.
>>44919626
>>A game extensively developed by Muslims
Persian Muslims
>>44919712
I don't think they make RPGs in Arabian.
>>44919379
Isn't chess arabic or some shit?
>>44919693
Fuck off Asmodai
All of you are missing the point.
He doesn't think chess is bad. He thinks gambling is. He thinks that chess is a means towards gambling. In a world without gambling, he presumably wouldn't give a fuck about it. And furthermore, it's not going to be banned (despite how faggoty OP is being). It's just going to be frowned upon, basically. I mean it's up there with fucking music.
So yeah, it's retarded, but it's nowhere near as retarded as you faggots think it is.
>>44919731
And then other Muslims, because that's how trade and empires in general works.
>>44919749
Originally Indian, spread into Persia (which then became part of the Arabic empires) and became a staple. It then spread from said empires into southern Europe.
>>44919749
No. It's indian.
>>44919731
>>44919749
>>44919626
Chess probably originates from a game developed in eastern India. It was developed further in pre-Islamic Persia, then continued under Islam and spread to Europe through Moorish Spain.
>>44919379
NO.
FUCK THAT BEARDED OLD ASS FUCK.
I LEFT THAT DAMN COUNTRY FOR THIS EXACT REASON. THEY OPPRESS SHIT BECAUSE "oh, muh sharia law!".
FUCKING HELL.
>>44919557
Dank /int/ memes bro.
>>44919767
Isn't gambling a tradition with the desert people? Or it is waging?
>>44919818
Whatever the case, gambling is definitely forbidden in Islam (and pretty much every other religion ever. I genuinely wonder why...).
>>44919830
But this weekend's PowerChess match between Kasparov & Deep Balls is 1.5 billion! I'd be stupid NOT to play!
>>44919818
Haggling I think.
>>44919379
>It is unlikely that Al-Sheikh’s ruling will be enforced, and more plausible that chess will be relegated to the status of other minor vices, such as music, which many in the clerical establishment frown upon. Moreover, since the ruling was in response to a specific question, it was probably meant as an advisory opinion rather than a formal edict.
Fucking read the article.
>tfw Donald Trump will destroy Islam in your lifetime
>>44919830
Because the house usually wins, which means fewer sheckles going into the collection plate.
>>44919767
I hate to be that guy, but what the hell do you think certain groups of Muslims do symbols and facilitators of things they "frown upon?"
About time, those chess masters are always such vice ridden criminal cases. Always hanging out with pimps and drug dealers, singing to kids about chess and gambits.
>>44919830
Something to do with vices and sins. I might be wrong, tough.
>>44919830
You can gamble on all kinds of shit this is a pointless ban
>>44919886
Nothing about that prevents some non-government Muslim extremists to get into their heads that they need to execute all chess players because they think old beardy there has a point.
>>44919897
I meant I wonder why it's always considered a vice or a sin.
>>44919914
It was in response to a specific question. Like "hey what do you think about Chess?".
>>44919915
Nothing prevents that.
>>44919915
Tbh you're a funny guy imo, senpai.
>>44919379
Chess has a large gambling subset?!
I've been doing it wrong all those years...
>>44919818
Just on Camel races with slave-children.
>>44919865
>>44919973
>he doesn't roll dice to see how far his bishop moves
>>44919999
And that wossname game where you dump a sheep carcass in the desert and the lads ride off to grab it, and whoever brings the most back wins. Is it baigha?
>>44919446
>Not wagering ownership Canadian Wheat Board on a game of chess
>Not wagering a dozen white slave girls from your harem on a game of chess
Step it up, infidels.
>>44919933
Well, usually was considered wicked or only performed by those weak of spirit. Often lead to addction, that often caused harm to you, your family or your family's name. Too much people fell in disgrace over gambling since the invention of gambling. At least, that's what I think it is.
Maybe the devil's involved. Which often is. The devil apparently is omnious like God itself, if you believe everything about it.
>>44919973
>Not betting on the bloodsport that is chess boxing
>>44919379
I generally think the people on /pol/ are retards but even a blind chicken can find corn at times.
Those camel-fuckers are a big part of the things that are wrong in the world.
Deus vult when?!
>>44919379
Obviously, he's a Checkers man.
>>44920023
That's a really common concept to be fair. People used to take of goose heads.
>>44920052
I know?!?!?!!! It's just!!??! So?!! Annoying??!
>>44920052
The crusade starts with yourself, anon.
>>44919865
2017 can't come soon enough.
Hopefully we're in time to save Germany, it would be a shame if all their breweries got Aloha Snackbar'd.
Chess has been Haram in Islam forever.
>>44919640
That's not even a legal first move, you fucking moron.
>>44920074
Just lifting for now and getting a good hairdo first.
Need that Cha/Con/Str to smite some ass.
>>44919516
What people don't realize is that Osama Bin Laden attacked the Twin Towers after watching Mazes and Monsters, mistaking it for a documentary on the subject. Islamic Fundamentalism, like Christian Fundamentalism in the 80s and 90s, is, in fact, mostly about destroying traditional games, as they are known as the source of most heresy.
>>44920087
>That's not even a legal first move, you fucking moron.
No move is legal, now.
>>44919865
>>44920082
>Implying Trump isn't all talk.
Last Presidential Election he was in he talked about he was gonna steal all the money from the rich folk.
Dude will literally say ANYTHING to get attention. You can check his actual competence by how many businesses he ran into the ground with daddy's klan money (and grand-daddy's hooker money).
Trump would curl up into a ball of piss if he actually had to do something without being able to jump ship and ditch his responsibilities.
>apologists will defend this
>>44919914
So what happens if people start gambling on what he'll ban next?
>>44919693
their version (regicide) is actually super more complex though
>>44920186
You bastard
>>44920195
I kinda want to see a presidential assassination in my lifetime so I want to see the Americans vote Trump in. I really want to see what the textbooks will say about it twenty years later as well.
>>44920195
Best get used to it, the last Repub competition is Cruz, an unlikable cunt who people only support because they're afraid of Trump and everyone else has been beaten into the dirt.
The general election is already over. Hillary is about to be indicted on national security violations and Bernie is a crazy self-admitted Socialist who will get eviscerated outside of democratic primaries.
Get ready to be great again.
>>44920266
Do you actually think that if Trump won he wouldn't t have the best security in the world?
Also maybe not an assassination but both Clinton and Sanders are pretty old and failing, they might die in office
>>44920266
>In 2016, the United States suffered a case of the herp derp and voted in a talking hairpiece and its meat puppet as President.
>>44919557
Now, Saudi Arabia and Iran are. Mostly because they are the US and USSR of the region, and by giving lunatics AK-47s and RPGs and telling them to fight the other side's lunatics armed similarly they get their proxy wars.
>>44920119
I'm genuinely laughing at you.
>>44920266
Americans never assassinate bad presidents, they just re-elect them.
>>44920266
Like there will be any textbooks in 20 years if Trump is elected.
>>44920297
Well, it's not exactly a new thing.
>>44920186
Okay I laughed pretty hard at that one.
>>44919616
>>44919623
Whats with all the triggered SJWs?
ayy lmao, I've seen this guy on /int/ before
>>44920291
I may strongly disagree with you on a lot of things, but I'm glad that everyone realizes what an asshole Cruz is. I'm actually thinking Rubio might get the nomination; he's young, pretty, latino, and provides the establishment a nice alternative.
>>44919865
No, Trump has promised to conquer part of Iraq, the oil fields, and make it American soil.
Meaning SIGNIFICANTLY MORE American Muslims.
Also, Trump has no idea how to play Chess.
>>44920308
>Implying Trump will be a bad president
>>44920301
That was the intention.
>>44920291
>Implying I live in America
Huehuehueuh.
Anyone with at least one brain cell can just go look at Trump's business record to see how irresponsible he is and how terrible at management. You guys thought Obama was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.
I'll get my popcorn.
>>44919933
It's a very easy way to lose a lot of money - it's addictive and attractive to those in fairly bad financial situations.
When most people gamble, they lose money - the family has less food, families fall apart, and if the "house" side is also a part of the local community it builds resentment.
Overall, gambling isn't a good thing to have in the community, from an objective point of view.
Most religious rules are there to make a community strong, or to give rules that will ensure people die less - it's why they ban usury within the religion, or things like eating shellfish, for desert-based religions founded before refrigeration
>>44920087
No it hasn't. What do you know of Islam?
>>44920362
>see how irresponsible he is and how terrible at management
Out of all the major candidates right now he's spent the least on ads
>>44920347
Shame Jeb Bush's ship has sailed, he was probably the smarter brother. Maybe Rubio can pull it off.
Honestly the best we can hope is that Clinton gets elected... but basically becomes an empty shell figurehead for her husband and we get the 90s again.
>>44920393
He's also gone bankrupt the most.
>>44920347
There just isn't enough time for Rubio to make a comeback. Cruz is going to hang on to the #2 spot like a pitbull on the leg of an innocent child, and Guac-King Yeb seems to be in the race for no other reason than to backstab Marco as hard as he possibly can.
>>44920393
That's nice, but not what I was talking about. Go look at his business record. i.e. - Suck at business, lose money, sue people who point out how much I suck, attention whore, rinse, repeat.
>>44920401
I miss bill
>>44920406
Still a multi billionaire
>>44920393
Because he gets it for free anytime he implies RACEWARNOW or calls someone a faggot.
He's mentioned in every 2016 presidential race article in every news publication.
>>44920401
>Honestly the best we can hope is that Clinton gets elected

It is like hell here, there is literally no one who shares the same intrest around
>>44920421
You get one shot with the US economy.
His history is ruining half the things he's touched but abandoning ship successfully.
America run by Trump is the same as a business run by Trump. Just because he knows he can step down and blame his Cabinet when he causes an economic crisis doesn't mean we win.
>>44919379
>>44919379
The famous Imam Al Shafi played chess. This is total bullshit. Nobody cares what the saudi mufti thinks except retards and islamopho... lets just go with retards.
>>44920453
>the entire US economy is run by a single person
how naive are you?
>>44920421
Possibly. Remember, he sues anyone who tries to report on how much money he has. He also has the benefit of getting to bolster himself with book sales, and daddy's funds.
However, the point is, not so much how much his business practices earn HIM, but the fact that he sinks businesses faster than anyone. His business record is a scorched trail of collapsed projects and lost jobs. I'm sure Trump will make out like a bandit. Everyone else is fucked though.
>>44920436
Or everyone who remembers the Clinton presidency.
Most Hillary supporters assume they're getting the Saxy Burgermaster for round 3.
>>44920082
I want Trump to be elected just to see all the mayhem he will cause.
>>44920460
>you're a retard if you distrust islam
>>44920436
Hello kid.
Okay, but seriously guys... which is the best Presidential Candidate for traditional games and traditional gamers?
>>44920442
Move to New York and get superpowers.
>>44920401
>Honestly the best we can hope is that Clinton gets elected
Please no. I'll take Bernie before her, at least with him Congress and the courts will stonewall most of his communist insanity and we can get someone sane in another 4 years.
Hillary "four more Obama years" Clinton might actually succeed in sticking something from time to time.
>>44920462
He's a bernie shill. what do you expect?
>>44920300
>Iran
Most Iranian "terrorism" is them backing insurgents who are targeting rival governments. In much the same way Russians, the US, and other countries back insurgent movements against regimes we don't like.
Most Saudi "terrorism" are wahabi-influenced religious/ideological extremists who want to replace existing institutions with their personal brand of Shariah, re-institute a Caliphate, and wage an ideological war on "the west".
>>44920442
I am moslem but I ain't arab. There is another guy who I meet up at miniature conventions but he is a convert.
I know some arab table top gamers but they aren't really pious types.
>EU shattering
>Russia dirt poor but trying to be warlike again
>China imploding
>Terrorism errywhere
>US going to explode because they can't elect a single person who isn't a raving shitcunt
Twenty-first century is shaping up a lot more interesting than I'd hoped.
>>44920462
By having a looney president who gives no fucks because he can cut and run, you lose the veto power holding back the lunacy that a united congress and senate can do.
Not to mention his promised complete reshuffling of the Supreme Court, and support of a complete rewrite of the US Constitution.
>>44920498
i have actually been there for three months.
It was a nice experience.
>>44920523
well i be
>>44920497
None of the Republicans except maybe Trump. The rest rely on the religious vote too much and we know how well the religious vote goes with /tg/. It's kind of a toss up between Trump, Hillary and Bernie.
>>44920531
Yes I'm sure Trump is mad enough to get himself impeached literally days after being elected
>>44920497
Sanders.
Clinton makes a big stink about censoring vidya so she probably doesn't think too fondly of /tg/ either. Trump will call us nerds and come to our houses to personally give us all swirlies.
Sanders gives no fucks.
>>44920516
So basically both are funding small groups to attack their enemies for them. Which is exactly what I said.
>>44920513
>Please no.
Read the second part of the sentence. He means the best you can hope for is electing Bill Clinton using an elaborate meat-puppet as your president.
>>44920537
>Trump
Would think it's for losers
>Hillary
Would whine about it not being "progressive" enough
>Bernie
the kid who always inserts his political views in while GMing
>>44920537
Why don't we vote third party and elect Dunkelzahn?
>>44920442
Not even a joke now, emigrate to the UK.
>>44920524
And to think all the US needed to do was allow extra parties to siphon off the insane ones. It's almost like having it be just two choices really increases the chance of getting a shitcunt...
>>44920524
By 2030, they're predicting tan will outnumber white and by 2040 we'll have digitized a brain so someone can live forever Ghost In The Shell style.
>>44920543
But how will we be able to afford shit under Sanders?
>>44920346
>Saudi Arabia
>basically the US if the silent majority were in power
>>44920531
>implying trump would actually do any of that
He says shit to get noticed. I imagine a trump presidency would not be like election trump. He is still a meme president but he blows out a lot of hot air
>>44920562
Yeah, this is actually the first election that I can remember in which literally none of the candidates are decent people
>>44920564
If I can have a digitized brain I'd have my shell be blue. Fuck white or tan. Blue's where its at. I wanna be fuckin' megaman.
>>44920564
Oh boy, does that mean we get to be the minority now?
>>44920549
If "anyone who gives people in the Middle East weapons/funding to fight political enemies" makes you responsible for terrorism, then the US and Russia are even bigger actors in the Middle East than Saudi Arabia and Iran.
>>44920401
>Shame Jeb Bush's ship has sailed, he was probably the smarter brother.
It's a miracle that Bush Sen. hasn't mercy-killed all of his loinspawn yet.

>Be Canadian
>We have a whole slew of "special" parties to stick the socialist hippies and nutcases in so we can get on with a real election.
Feels good.
>>44920562
It isn't because more than two is banned, its because you have the best chance of raising funds if you stick to the big name where the big money is.
Libertarians do better with the Republican party than as a Libertarian party, hence no Libertarian party. Since votinv Americans see elections as having the best chance electing the least offensive person, a Libertarian will vote for the Libertarian-ish Republican over the full Libertarian of the Libertarian party out of fear a Democrat will get in.
>>44920610
>We have a whole slew of "special" parties to stick the socialist hippies and nutcases in so we can get on with a real election.
Still failed to stop 2015 man
>>44920611
Oh, I know its not banned. I was referring to what you pointed out - and that there are a lot of pointless rules that make it difficult for anyone aside from the big two from making any headway.
>>44920608
To be fair, I get the feeling that W was a lot smarter than he was acting. He played dumb so the media would run their articles focusing on him and all his policies rarely got attention so no one could react to them till it was way too late.
>>44920597
>then the US and Russia are even bigger actors in the Middle East than Saudi Arabia and Iran.
well, yes
>>44920618
Yeah, but we can kick him out at any time, we don't have to wait the stupid four year blocks.
Hoping he legalizes weed before he goes, and the Conservatives find a less asshole leader.
>>44920593
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: not until 2070-90 or so when its noticeable.
>>44920597
This is true. Americans have realized this, but are stuck without alternative. Russia does it because the Americans are doing it, and fuck the guys causing everyone but Czar Putin to fuck up Russia.
>>44920559
it is not that easy.
besides, how do you expect me to live in a country where everyone hates me? everyone will consider me as a filthy parasite leeching on what little good left in this country.
>>44920608
Give Dubya some credit, he at least married a respectable woman and produced socially presentable daughters. In an dynastic family like that you can get away with just that much.
Jeb married a goblin and his daughter is a half-ogre chain-smoking bulldyke.
>>44920656
>socially presentable daughters
They're white Kardashians.
>>44920632
Then why did this thread just have a conversation that went like...
>Saudi Arabia is the source of 90% of terrorism in the mid east
>No, Saudi Arabia and Iran do
When the reality is that the US and Russia are bigger sources?
>>44920618
>I'm a useless shitcunt but my daddy was sorta important: The PM
I hate him so much. So much. Only good person in his cabinet Harjit Sajjan who calls him a fuckwit at every opportunity and is trying to prevent the impending doom to our airforce that fourty years of neglect have done to our navy.
>>44920406
This isn't a good point.
The more businesses you have the easier it gets to look at them objectively and realize when it's a lost cause, or even just not worth the effort to make work. At that level of wealth Bankruptcy isn't a last resort mistake, it's a tactical move - cashing out when the well runs dry, whereas a poor man with one business will run his life into the ground trying to convince himself and his costumers that there's still water.
>>44920653
Try Canada instead. You might even get to smoke weed soon.
>>44920653
Move to Canada then, the PM will personally welcome you into the country as a refugee.
>>44920441
>>44920656
His daughter is gay.
>>44920686
Yeah, I'm hoping the conservatives can get it together. I mean, I don't like Trudeau, but Harper was starting to go full retard and a little mad with the power he had over his party and his defeat was pretty inevitable. He basically handed over that win.
Still, I try and stay optimistic - NDP got rekt, so that's a bright side.
>>44920645
>>This is true. Americans have realized this, but are stuck without alternative. Russia does it because the Americans are doing it, and fuck the guys causing everyone but Czar Putin to fuck up Russia.
Americans started doing it because Russians were doing it in the cold war, and Russians were doing it because England/France were doing it after WWI, and they were doing it because the Germans/Turks were doing it because imperialism/colonialism.
>>44920691
It's about as good a point as "he spent the least money on ads".
>>44920291
>Hillary is about to be indicted on national security violations
I seriously doubt this.
>>44920653

>>44920266
Yeah, well we don't want that to happen so...
>>44920653
>>44920721
Canada might be your best bet.
Just remember four simple things:
1. No raping
2. Hockey is good, you like hockey, it's a necessary part of proper cultural assimilation. Just keep your hockey rioting level equal to your native Canadian peers, no beheadings plz.
3. NO. RAPING.
4. Don't live in a mudslime enclave shut off from the rest of Canada, that's how ISIS gets into your brain.
5. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAPING.
>>44920721
Yeah that election was a shitshow for everyone involved. Technically I think I'm registered NDP actually - if for the only reason they held a meeting in my usual bar and several drinks in offered me a t-shirt and some more drinks to sign a paper.
I voted for a local guy in the last election who didn't make it because literally everyone else was complete shit trying to mash together something out of the party lines.
>>44919379
I totally pity those Saudi arabian fools who want to stay there still.
Hahaha
>>44920787
>no beheadings plz.
>equal to native canadian's hockey rioting
>NO BEHEADINGS
I seriously doubt that you are from canada
>>44920787
Honestly, we probably treat Muslims so well not because we're all bleeding heart liberals, and more because we reserve all our intolerance for the Indigenous Peoples.
>>44920740
Even if Canada doesn't legalize, British Columbia has all the good food, Asian girks, and legal pot with cheap gas and milk plus lots of microbrew beer just over the border in the US. Washington State, ftw.
>>44920346
>>44920579
This is genuinely terrifying. There was a study made by Islamic scholars in the Middle East maybe about a decade ago literally claiming that the region had been lacking in knowledge.
The professors literally claimed and factually proved that the region repressed the generation of new knowledge and spread knowledge that was factually false.
>>44920819
Fuck the first nations, they can't drive and steal trucks and get drunk and burn shit. Fuck them fuck them fuck them. Why didn't we finish the slow genocide program we started with the boarding schools?
>>44920347
Yeah, but he didn't lose the boots.
>>44920826
As someone who lives in British Columbia that's a little bit... off. Good food is totally true. Asian girls is... TRUE, but the majority of Chinese and Indian girls are pretty meh. Only the top 10% are worth it (though in the summer Japanese tourist girls are amazing). Cheap gas is only in certain parts of the province. And we have lots of microbrew here.
Still, pretty good living here - the libtards are annoying, but not nearly to the level that people think they are, and you can easily ignore the worst. Shit is expensive, but there's ways to get around that too. And outside of the city things are very lovely.
>>44920847
Yeah, see, exactly. After the first nations, Asians and Middle Easterners hardly rile us up at all.
>>44920865
The koreans and the japanese are the good looking ones. The chinese ones are kinda, frumpy. Indians are just ugh BO.
Absolutely none of them can drive.

Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “This aayah indicates that it is haraam to play dice or chess, whether that involves gambling or not, because when Allaah forbade alcohol He explained the reason for that, which is ‘Shaytaan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from As-Salaah (the prayer).’ So every kind of game in which a little leads to a lot and stirs up enmity and hatred between those who are devoted to it and prevents them from remembering Allaah and praying, is like drinking alcohol, which implies that it must be haraam like alcohol.” (al-Jaami’ li Ahkaam al-Qur’aan, 6/291).
Al-Qurtubi, if you don't know, is a classical Islamic Scholar who worked on an Exgesis of the Quran.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qurtubi
He was alive in the 11th Century. So yes, it has been generally considered Haram for a long time.

If you take a look at the aayah he is actually quoting from, it goes like this
> O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
>Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intoxicants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. So will you not desist?
In no way does it mention games like chess are haram, it just says that the act of actualy gambling is haram. I disagree with his interpretiation, i feel that he is trying to use a slippery slope arugment and is trying to say that games like chess can lead to gambling, but this is not really true.
Though i wont lie, games like Csgo are showing that esports gambling is becoming a thing, playing games by itself is compeletely fine
I was going to write a huge ass post about the evolution of Trump over time and his constant flip-flops to appeal to "fringe" voters.

Pro tip for pretending to be Canadian: We don't register people for parties, but they can join as members outside of the main electoral process. Party members get to vote for who to choose as the party leader and who put on the local ballot. Being a card-carrying member of a party almost always involves paying dues. Even the NDP charge a few bux annually, except to Newfies because those guys are poor enough as it is.

What a shame that you forgot to mention how far Islam takes the ban on idolatry. It goes literally to the point where only girls are allowed to play with dolls, and only prior to menstruation, because anything else is fucking heresy. This is why it's such a big deal that Aisha played with dolls in the Qu'ran: this means that even by the standards of the time, Muhammad was a pedophile. Let me repeat that: he was a kiddy fiddler by the standards of people who married 12 year old girls.
Islam's conservative clerics aren't insane, they're very intelligent people rationally applying a fucked up ideology.

I think Aisha married Muhammad somewhere in the 620s, around which time Muhammad had been gathering followers for a few decades, and only a handful of years before he conquered Mecca. I think he'd be in a position to enforce his rules at that point.

Anyways it's all rather moot. Unlike, say, Catholicism, Islam is a decentralized religion with thousands of minor theological disputes of this sort. It's actually meaningless to ask "Is X forbidden in Islam?" for the vast majority of things because there are tons of fatwas & hadiths both ways. Almost all you need to call yourself an Imam is a nice abaya to wear and a few gullible people to follow you.

Not him, but not really. Unlike any (except some American retardo-Protestant sect) Christian sect, all sects of Islam consider the Qu'ran the literal word of God, dictated to Muhammad by Gabriel from the Eternal Qu'ran which exists alongside Allah. There is literally no doubt about anything in there.
You did not directly quote the Qu'ran, but you did quote a Hadith (from Sahih Muslim, which is qualified as Sahih ie. the highest quality and reliability of reliability in Islamic tellings of history) in which Muhammad, the messenger of Allah and his direct mouthpiece (if you ignore those pesky Satanic verses) said that it is forbidden to play chess.
Other than acknowledging that Muhammad is not the messenger of Allah, or that Satan played yet another one of his tricks and Muhammad was entirely unable to tell this (yet again), there is no reason for any pious Muslim to believe that it is allowed to play Chess. Either Muhammad is not the messenger of Allah (heresy), Satan inspired this verse (heresy) or the most reliable of all Hadith are not reliable (heresy). Decentralization or not, this is on par with a Christian saying Jesus didn't die on the cross.
