0ffshore360 Posted Friday at 12:23 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:23 PM I would not be so hasty in demeaning the complexity of the game of Chess ! There was a time when Chess was used as a tool of Nationalistic competition during the Cold War era. I am good friends with a Soviet survivor of that era who to this day teaches and encourages the intellectual strategies involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
