what do yall think

what do you all think about the saying: chess isn't just a game; it's a philosophy I've been thinking on and on about so I've decided to write a concept essay on it please share your thoughts down below

Chess is fun. 🙂

I think people are being too artistic with wording, Chess is just a game not a philosophy, While it´s interesting to think ´oh,, maybe it is philosophy´ but... in all it´s just a game!

chess is just a game and nothing more

I agree

thank you for all your responses they've been quite helpful I've been reminded that people sometimes bring interpersonal issues and tie them with an illusory correlation with chess which makes this topic pretty weird and irrelevant in a manner although I still believe there are some wonderous life lessons you can learn from it

...

It's a game and sport

It is a game but you can make it as tough or annoying as you want it to be

If you get the competitive element out of it, stress, chess is the most interesting thing on earth.

Simply makes way more neural links in the mind next to almost any other activity.

Add mathematics, add artistic beauty, add sports - that's a lot.
