Scene from Searching for Bobby Fischer:

 

Bruce Pandolfini and Josh Waitzkin sitting across a chess board.

Bruce: "Mate is 4 moves away. Don't move until you see it."

Josh sits and stare at the board.

Josh: " But I can't without moving the pieces"

Bruce: "Yes you can!"

Waiting

Bruce: "Here let me make it easier for you"

With one swift action Bruce wipes the pieces off the board, onto the floor....

to me it is very, very hard but that's why I like it so much.  there's so much to look at; one mistake can easily cost a player the game.

Chess is a very easy game. All you have to do is pick up a piece and put it down somewhere else every once in a while. Opponents are difficult, not the game itself.

I think it is easy to learn the rules and start playing at a beginners level, but to become an exceptional player, like anything else, it requires a lot of work and it would help if you have talent as well.


 I think this is the correct answer.

Chess is a relatively easy game to learn and play. You only need to know the basic rules, how the pieces move, how to checkmate, and a few special rules. However, reaching chess mastery is extremely hard. It requires a lot of time investment and dedication.

easy to learn the fundamentals, but the deeper you go the uglier it gets.

Basically the rules of chess are simple, but its principles, the rules resulting from the basic rules, are harder, the rules resulting from those are harder and so on. So it is harder if you want to become better, like in all strategy game. But it's got it's limit: it's less harder than chess in 4 :peaceful

What kind of “talents” would benefit one’s chess skill? Can these all be learned by people in whom they’re not inherent? For example, some can simply hear music and immediately figure out how to play it, while others can learn to read music and thereby play the same music simply by doing the “work”. Thus they both can accomplish the same task often equally as well, though through quite different means.
