You don't have to have a great winning percentage to be a great player. A player who wins 70% of his games is a phenominal player at the highest levels, and a pitcher that wins 70% of his games is also a high ranking player.
A 70% in most careers would be a huge failure, for example, a chemist, economist, financial planner. Why can't everything be as easy as chess? ;-)

According to Donner, Fidel Castro have compared chess to baseball and preferred baseball, because in chess "there are too many rules" 😀
The one that's in sends players out one at a time, to see if they can get in before they get out.
If they get out before they get in, they come in, but it doesn't count. If they get in before they get out, it does count.
When the ones out get three outs from the ones in before they get in without being out, the team that's out comes in and the team in goes out to get those going in out before they get in without being out.
When both teams have been in and out nine times the game is over.
The team with the most in without being out before coming in wins unless the ones in are equal, in which case, the last ones in go out to get the ones in out before they get in without being out.
The game will end when each team has the same number of ins out but one team has more in without being out before coming in.

Chess is like baseball: neither are fun when you're playing outside and it's raining.
