the literal entire purpose of chess is to overcome harder and harder opponents

I learn that you shouldn’t hang your queen ig

The quest for a metaphysical pursuit of purity versus evil and the natural concept of life in death and such complications in nature

knowledge can only get you so far, skill and intuition also play a massive role

skill is your ability to apply your knowledge at a certain level of efficiency

You just have to know the best move

#

knowing the best move comes from intuition

#

and a combination of knowledge and skill

but whatever

skill is mainly how fast you can play the moves

to waste ~20 minutes just to increase a number by 8

#

or decrease rather

lusty rapids
#

The only one that makes sense is the will to overcome I guess

#

Not sure what knowledge anyones gaining by playing chess

#

Other than than, well, the knowledge of chess

#

True

#

The actual question is interesting but the choices are all nonsensical

#

Cause I think chess embodies the competitive spirit most

#

And its appealing because it requires nothing but the brain, something everyone has regardless of age or physical abilities

#

It is a game, just a very accessible and popular one

imho i think it comes down as to whether you just see chess as a game, or something bigger.
for me despite not being a fantastic player, i attribute some personal enhancements to being a chess player, themes like pattern recognition, putting up plans, even categorizing stuff, some more i can't quite recall as of now.
chess sharpened my taste for seeing things through different lens, it all comes down to how much you can picture it abroad instead of being just a game. though this approach varies from person to person ofc. 🙂

Where is "the urge to appear superior to others"

#

Btw why do I have the "just joined" role I've been here for like 6-7momths and even before that I was here for some years before taking a small break from the server

The will to overcome

And smash opponents hands on to the table

Is the correct answer

i think the answer is

#

destroying your opponents

#

in life you have opponents, and while people want you to be win win, i prefer taking lal the win points for myself, no 50/50, i deserve 100 and they deserve none. soooo

the correct answer is to treat everyone who doesnt play chess like a bozo

#

The real answer is that it teaches you respect

It teaches you to feel smart after blundering your queen(i’m 148 elo)

Winning.

#

The urge to win.

#

and also the urge to sacrifice the entire game because en passant is on the board

#

the rush of hanging my queen is the only real answer

#

The urge to promote and blunder

#

The urge to sacrifice a piece for no reason

The voices tell me to promote to a queen whenever I put my pawn at the end of the board.

Joy and harmony don’t exist in chess, only frustration and emotional damage.
