I'm in a light hearted mood tonight. So here is a fun one:
How would you describe chess? I would label it:

"A really interesting, sadistic little game"

Would any other lables fit? )🙂

ah but punctuation has rules too ... and your sentence is still understandable despite breaking them ... so perhaps chess can't be defined by rules after all?

anyhoo chess is a game I think. It's about winning and losing.

Heh. It's synthesis of various disciplines.
Art + intellect + sport + game + geometry + bla + bla + bla = chess.

Therefore I came with the conclusion = I would define chess as chess. It is art but it is not music, it's not painting nor monumental architectal masterpiece, it is not literar masterpiece, it is not movie, it is not sculpture. It's CHESS !! 😛

Chess, chess, chess, of chess, too much of chess 🙄 I can not stand that much of chess anymore, please, a little break. Chess chess chess 😵
