No. Most of chess is actually trained through repetition. Chess players memorize plays. They have a memory of the first n steps of any play that has proven effective. Also there is generalized rules that one can play chess by which normies don't know.

Chess has been solved by AI. Why waste time on a solved problem?

>>16181223
No, but being smart can help you play chess. Both by utilizing a sharp memory like >>16181228
mentioned, but also thinking deeply in the mid-game.

>>16181229
it's not even remotely close to being weakly solved

No, but rather being a chess enjoyer let's you connect with other smart people.
It's a good social filter.
At Chess Clubs, you meet some very smart people.
Lots of CS guys. Lots of discussion of Math & Philosophy.
It's the equivalent of European Cafés during the Enlightenment.
>>16181229
Chess is actually at the forefront of AI, if you want to discuss AI, chess clubs are one of the best places.

No, chess players are dumb as shit.

why do women and men not compete in the same chess tournaments?
why do women have to have their own tournaments?
Aren't men and women equal?
Male Hindus are competing with male whites and male Chinese in the same tournaments but there's no women?
Aren't men and women equal?

>>16181280
Chess is like biology. It's just a contest to see who can memorize the most stuff.

>>16181289
>Aren't men and women equal?
They are different, but equal. Make sense?

>>16181289
The differences between men and women are purely physical and do not affect intelligence. Men just happen to be physically stronger. That's why men and women sports are separated. Unless of course a man identifies as a woman. Then she loses her physical advantage and has to compete in women sports. Now chess is just another physical sport. Chess pieces for male tournaments are significantly heavier. Hence women need their own chess tournaments.

>>16181223
Playing chess will make you better at chess. That's about it.

>>16181308

>>16181295
>They are different, but equal. Make sense?
No. Please explain.

>>16181327
Men and women are obviously different things, so they are not strictly equal. From the sociological level, we can define equality differently as women and men getting the same treatment from other humans in the sense that the treatment is not directly resulting from discrimination based on sex.
It can also mean that women and men are obviously different, but have an equal "moral" value, whatever that means.

>>16181353
I don't want women to have different chess tournaments

>>16181322
Is this meant to be self aware in the sense that the dumb girls in the meme do the same thing as the rest of the post if the rest of the post is meant to show evidence for women being cognitively inferior?

>>16181289
Women are as capable as men but they have pussy so they don't have to waste stupid amounts of time on dumb shit to succeed in life.

>>16181223
No. While being smart certainly helps, playing chess is not going to make you "smarter".

>>16181223
>more smarter
Maybe start with a grade school textbook.

>>16181289
>>16181382
NTA but if you go to farms farmers will kill 99.99% of males because they're useless and keep 1 male for breeding and keep all females.

>>16181289
>Aren't men and women equal?
No.

Chess would be an intelligence game only if both players were playing it for the very first time.

After that, this kicks in >>16181228

>>16181223
Chess is just a glorified memory game for tryhards.

>>16181223

>>16181289
women are stupid so if you put them into the same bracket as men there will be almost no women in the top 50 or so and no women grandmasters etc... will look bad for ad and sponsor money so they have to create separate bracket for women.
it's all money driven.

>>16181382
Ouch!

>>16181438
>women make for a more docile and easily controlled population to keep as slaves and exploit for material gain
>that's why women are superior and men are useless
Interesting logic you have there.

>>16181739
It's got nothing to do with docility. Males are simply economically useless unless they deliberately make themselves useful like human males do.

it will just make you better at chess

>>16181382
weird how you can be totally wrong and correct at the same time

>>16181280
Watch the video. He was talking to the chat and was barely even looking at the questions.

>>16181289
16:1 ratio. It's a sausage fest.
Imagine willingly going to a makeup or hairstyling club as a heterosexual male.

Encouraging women to join chess is a good thing. Most of those losers have a hard time getting pussy as it is.

>>16181779
Think about it. Governments heavily promote chess, particularly America and Russia in order to create military strategists. And who likes to go to war? Men.

>>16181289
because the difference between white men and white women is bigger than the difference between white men and chinese men

>>16181855
Meant to reply to this>>16181289

>They are different, but equal.
They are difference, hence they are unequal.
>Species are unequal
Species are unequal
>Races are unequal
Races are unequal
>People are unequal
People are unequal
>Sexes are unequal
Sexes are unequal

Difference is natural and good. Inequality is natural and good. Domination is natural and good; life eats life.

>>16181289
men are better than women in every aspect of life lmao.

>>16181249
she had been trained like a lab rat to master chess at childhood. dunno if she got any clever or not.

>>16181855
>military strategists
lol memorizing chess openings, game trees, mate patterns, and endgame scenarios makes you good at chess and nothing else.

lol. No man, smoking weed, playing Warhammer and jerking off to ecchi is what makes you smart, bro.

>>16181681
Goddamn

>>16181295
What is the original purpose of that image?
Is "different but equal" a problematic outdated chud phrase they're cataloging very solemnly.

>>16181380
What did you say silly esl

>>16182260
If Napoleon Bonaparte were alive today, he'd be playing they Civilization games

>>16182240
I wouldn't be so sure.

>>16181681
who? MOAR

>>16181829
Even generally, he comes off as dumb whenever he's not playing chess.

>>16181829
Here's another one.

>why do women and men not compete in the same chess tournaments?
>why do women have to have their own tournaments?
To prevent feminists from saying it's mysoginistic that men are smarter and win more and that their club should be torn down for daring to be better than others, same shit as always.
