>just memorize a few sequences
A chess game tests your intellect, memory (if you played it before) and your current state of mind. As you advance, memory becomes more prominent.

Anger, lethargy, intimidation, respect are easily conveyed on the chessboard.
It sounds contradictory, but the less you play and the more you analyse, the better you become. If you play one game after another, you will sooner or later have put too much energy into it, and from that point it’s just a matter of time before you become emotionally involved. Then it’s all downhill. That’s why you should stop playing after 2 or 3 losses in a row.
Chess is great if you want to improve on your patience, memory, and equanimity.

Stop trying to explain chess you brainlet, it's none of those things. I notice you didn't take me up on my offer to beat your ass. You memorize general principals, control the center etc and then you memorize openings and alternatives and then you basically know the whole game. Emotions have nothing to do with it you autistic virgin, because the game is a passionless execution of sequences.

Stopped reading there. The only way you could measure intellect with chess is for the 2 players to have never played it before. Anything other than this idea can be refuted by another idea, which is a literal retard could beat you if he had enough experience. Is he more of an "intellectual" than you then?

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking. Watch a single game of high level chess and you'd know memory has fuck all to do with it past the first five moves which professional players make without even thinking.
Memory just sets the board up and from there its pure strategy.

lemme ask you this dipshit, why do you think grandmasters quit when they're 20 moves away from check?

Can't get there? it's because they know the game is boring trash and will only turn our one way when one sequence is followed. You talk like you just got into chess and you're trying to use it to hide the fact that you don't have a personality.

Already proven to be stupid. Each move you make branches out into numerous legitimate responses and this tree becomes exponentially larger with more and more legitimate responses at every move you make. You absolute fucking retard
You don't memorize five moves you memorize five entire exponents of moves and after a very quick point even supercomputers lack the capability to see objective best moves

Even the best chess players in the world think it's a dumb boring game. That's why Carlson doesn't even practice. There is no need. He's memorized the autistic sequences he needs to know and that's all there is to it.

You really don't have anything going for you in life other than being moderate at chess, and I could still beat you at your own game.

Yes you could say that about anything, anything that isn't unique. Chess isn't a unique game, it is a highly structured game with no creativity involved. This measurement of the ability it has on testing your intelligence is porpotionate to how unstructured the game is. On this "hard wall", as you call it, where memory drops off: it is complete bullshit. There is a name for nearly every opening. These openings can span 30 to 40 moves. The only games that fall into chaos in the first six moves are those that are played by people who are new to chess, and haven't understood the structure of the game.
