    Chess has its share of sports politics problems.
    Much of the money in chess is Russian.
    Much of the chess world org is Russian.
    One top ten player is currently banned for being pro-Putin. Most of the rest keep their mouth shut.
    Except Kasparov, who is vehemently against Putin.

    the first thing you need to do to play chess is pick a top tier multidimensional branching point that will serve as the basis for all of your upcoming decisions in the past

    at this point you may have discovered that you've already lost at this timelines's version of chess, but don't worry about that, we'll be fracturing this reality and replacing it with an alternative universe where you've already undone your opponents check

    as we collapse the quantum wave form we see that the event horizon has now solidified itself into a singularity that is only governed by probability, and that you have successfully prevented your opponent from existing in the first place, as well caused the game of chess to never be invented

    and that's really all you need to do! congratulations, you just beat chess!

    My impression of chess is that you need to memorize oodles of openings and gambits and prior games to be moderately competitive? And also an enormous number of people online are cheating?

    I used to enjoy playing, casually, with people in real life who also knew the rules but also didn't study it. And that was super fun, basically a tactics game. I like tactics games! But I really, really hate memorization games.

    When my wife is concentrating on a task she will forget to eat, drink and take bathroom breaks. It impressive in how much she can get done when concentrating like that, but she also appreciates when a co-worker reminds her to take care of herself.
