Have you ever felt too dumb to play a certain game?
>>
Chess is barely even a 'game'.
Total information and turn-based. Basically Tic-Tac-Toe except with more math.

After six years of playing Mahjong, learning tile efficiency, how to play against your primary threats, all the funny nihongo words that just mean "don't do this" or "do that" after getting 4 yakumen in six fucking years and generally only able to consistently beat people who aren't asian I'm pretty sure I'm actually worse than when I began.
>>
>>744593625
Chess is just like any other game. Even if you can think 3 steps ahead, it doesn't beat game knowledge you gain by playing. You can't just pick up any game and be good at it from the get go.

there are both more fun and much more productive things to do than chess.

do please enlighten me mister productive

about what? how to be more productive than spending time playing a board game?
>>
>>744595278
fapping

>>744595278
Obviously posting on a board about games is more productive than merely playing board games.

chess is sports not a mere boardgame
>>
>>744595597
okay, sports that doesn't give you any health benefits aside from maybe helping with dementia later in life. gr8. may as well play golf. at least you'll touch grass.
>>
>>744593625
How come there's no new rule added yet to protect against this? Like some swappity-duppity to instantly move your king to the corner and have the tower kill the mating piece.
>>
>>744595719
Cause chess is an abstract game, it's not really used to portray a realistic battlefield simulation anymore. For that you'd have to go to the chink predecessor
>>
>>744594608
>I'm actually worse than when I began.
Acknowledging this is a sign that you're getting better, anon. Keep gambling.

Chess isn't about being intelligent. It's about learning three guaranteed winning strategies and then using the one that beats the one your opponent is using.

No, but if I ever played Professor Layton I know I would.
>>
>>744595719
There is already a protection against this, don;t move that pawn until you have a defensive screen.
>>
>>744596134
That's prevention, not protection
>nooooo you're not allowed to make these moves
>>
>>744596280
Nah you are allowed, those are just bad moves that will make you lose.
>>
>>744595719
Because real games don't have mechanics in place solely to protect retards from losing due to making retarded plays.
If you want to stop losing to stupid shit stop doing stupid things.
>>
>>744596134
Oh so I can't use my own strategy to win?
>>
>>744596280
You're allowed to make these moves, but they'll probably make you lose because they're dumb moves.
>>
The board is subtly wrong: the square colours are swapped.

>>744594927
To be fair, f3 and g4 are awful moves from first principles, not just because that opens up room for mate-in-one (let's imagine you're playing a handicap game and the opponent doesn't have a queen). They develop the pieces slowly, they cede the control over the centre of the board to Black, they compromise king safety, they block the mobility of your own queen and bishop on diagonals, f3 blocks your own knight from developing. Stockfish evaluates 1. g4 as the worst move (it's probably a forced loss) and 1. f3 isn't far behind. Like, there kinda isn't any principled reason whatsoever to make these moves, it's something you only do if you are just moving pieces around randomly. Like, the player here probably isn't clicking the fruit in Dumb Baby Fruit Match randomly and thoughtlessly: it's just that they don't like Chess for whatever reason so can't be bothered to as much as try. And yes, if they didn't derive the opening theory from first principles, they would do so after some matches (or being taught).
>>
>>744594608
Mahjong is just luck in the end.
>>
>>744596926
>moving one pawn at the start of the game is a forced loss
lmao what a shitty fucking game
>>
>>744593625
nearly 30 posts in the thread and nobody recognized that it's bike-cuck?
>>
>>744593625
the guy drew the pieces and the wrong starting position and it's pissing me off
>>
>>744597196
What do you mean retard? The king and queen oppose each other's equivalent, have you never played chess before?
>>
>>744597046
By forced loss I mean optimal play against optimal play. Stockfish tends to be competitive with the best humans with two pawn handicap so it would almost certainly come back to win from 1. g4 against super-GMs, and human noobs tend to blunder away theoretically winning advantages with their every move, so -1 starting evaluation is just par for the course.

>4 yakumen in six fucking years
just stop doing kyuushuu kyuuhai if you want a yakumeme

It's an old game, anon. It's not supposed to be fun or offer many ways of playing it.
>>
>>744597196
>>744597325
he color inverted the field A1 is always black and A8 white so the white queen stands on a white field and the black queen on a black field
>>
>>744597046
he moved 2 pawns

>>744593625
Competitive pokemon is basically chess with more steps. I just want to do some cool moves with my favorite mons, not have to memorize the optimal setup and stats for all of whatever is considered the top tier.
>>
>>744593625
I'm not too dumb to play chess, but I am too impatient, forgetful and imperceptive. A don't like scanning the whole board and a lot of the time I simply forget about one or another piece on the periphery of the board and then it comes back to bite me in the ass.

correct, anon said, thoughever:
>>744596926
>Stockfish evaluates 1. g4 as the worst move (it's probably a forced loss)
clearly says 1. there so that's the first move of the game being a forced loss
>>
>>744594608
I forget how long I've been playing mahjong and I have yet to finish a single yakuman... I've had more than a handful ready though.

The great thing about chess is that it's short. Even if you lose in 5 seconds, that's fine. It isn't a point and click where you invest three hours and have to start all over. In addition, you can play with bots, and they will wilt your noob inclinations.

Are there really people on this board playing poker (Japan) just cause it has chingchong words?

I'd say anyone can learn to get through Rhythm Heaven but it's really the kinda genre where, if you don't immedaitely enjoy it from the offset, it's kinda pointless to git gud cause it will never become fun for you

I exclusively played sanma for the last year and half, and played a 4-player game yesterday and heard 'chi' for the first time again. It felt like my brain spiraled down a drain for a few seconds trying to remember that mystical word again after so long.
I won the game too hehehe
