god you're an idiot Either answer my actual arguments or go away I didn't say that having secret communication wouldn't affect e-sports performance, I'm saying with chess, there is zero difference between doing that and having carlson actually play himself. It wouldn't just help me, for all...

So...you don't actually have an argument against what I said? Let me make this even MORE simple for you. Is blindfold chess a sport? If there's spectators and fans and commentary....but the players aren't physically doing anything other than speaking. Does not going through the mechanical...

I've explained this half a dozen times already, including in my response to you Chess doesn't require superior motor skills to win. Magnus calrson could wear silicon oven mitts on his hands covered with grease (i.e. greatly impaired ability to use his fingers) and it woudn't help me beat him at...

It hasn't, you're just declaring it has Chess and e-sports are categorically different and you're evidently too stupid to understand this

You are wrong and an idiot

That's completely moronic. That isn't what defines a sport. That isn't why e-sports are sports. All kinds of stuff has a fandom and a spectators. What next, poker is a sport? Scrabble is a sport? Essay writing competitions are a sport? Without an element of physical exertion, it isn't a sport...

Esports are categorically different to chess. Esports require coordinated physical exertion to achieve a result, chess does not. Chess is PURELY decision making. Any physical movements (like clicking on the square you want to move your piece to) are purely logistical in nature, not skill-based...

if thats what he meant by it, im gonna find out who adrita's mum is and show this to her

why would I have seen her mum

No you ain't

They're not considered sports though?

Chess isn't a sport. The actual gameplay itself is not dependent on physical exertion. There are mechanical movements that need to be made, but these are merely to display the decision you have made. Skill in chess has nothing to do with these physical movements, you don't beat somebody because...

No, dumb dumb, I'm saying you COULD change the rules of chess to make it play like this, and NOTHING meaningful would change about the game, because the point of chess is decision making, not muscular exertion. This has nothing to do with chess ability though. You don't win by moving your arm...

No, the idea that mental fitness is an example of physical fitness IS your logic. It is not found anywhere within the definition of chess. I never said you said it...I literally said "by your logic". It means I'm showing something that would be true using your logic to show why its wrong.

The olympic committee can literally just decide anything is a sport with zero justification. It's meaningless. Chess is booming, so the olympic committee wants a piece of the action. That's literally all this is. I'm not asking you to "trust me", look at the definition of a sport: An activity...

So, by your logic, any intellectual pursuit is a sport because it involves the brain? ffs dude

where's the funny?

do you say that to the clowns who write/post articles claiming chess is a sport?
