how do you graciously admit defeat in a game of logic in which losing basically means being stupider than your adversary?

>>95977463 (OP)
Well, you eat their heart and inherit their prowess. Works most of the time.

This is why Chess is banned in the Antarctica

no ones going to remember they beat you if you eat their heart, are they? history is written by the victors.

>>95977463 (OP)
You play multiple games with one opponent, no? Naturally, you're bound to win some, lose some. Even a smartest person makes mistakes upon which other player can capitalize on.
If it's 10:0 then yep, that's a skill issue. In that case, you stab him and eat his heart.

>>95977463 (OP)
If my opponent was so smart, how come they're dead?

>>95977505
Prose IS superior, though.

Fucked up how often people try to eat a guys heart and eat the entirely wrong organ. Eating someones lung just doesn't have any romance.

>>95977505
Russians are strange. Murder seems acceptable in their culture as a solution to an argument.

>Chess is about intelligence
Chess is a game where you read the board state and recognize likely patterns. It's not really an indication of intelligence. It's completely possible to be a total dumbass in every other regard besides playing chess at a high level.

>>95977463 (OP)
>being stupider than your adversary
Being properly good at chess means devoting vast time and energy to an encyclopediac topic that has zero relevance outside of being good at chess, a game that is already mastered by machines to the point that humans can no longer compete. That sounds pretty stupid to me. It's like being good at axe throwing.

>>95977463 (OP)
It takes a special brand of weapons grade narcissism to think you're the smartest person alive. And even then only absolute NPCs chimp out when someone shows them how dumb they really are.

>>95977594
>to think you're the smartest person alive
If you kill your enemies, they die.

High level chess isn't about being smart. It's about autistic memorization.

>>95977642
What the fuck is that? Please tell me that that isn't individually wrapped slices of bread.

>>95977463 (OP)
like most everything, skill in chess is a function of time not intelligence. being smart or having a strong memory or pattern recognition certainly speeds the process up, but it's still entirely down to hours invested. so basically your premise is retarded fuck off die, thanks.

>>95982113
Well, except when /tg/ plays chess...

>>95977463 (OP)
High level chess players are not very intelligent in a generalizable way, they tend to just be very good at chess and maybe other board games

>>95977642
And I just bought a loaf of bread for a little more than a dollar at HEB. There is no way the slicing and packaging of individual fucking slices of bread doesn't cost more than the loaf. How does that exist? Why does it exist? How the fuck is bread, a food staple the world over, so unaffordable that fuckers are buying it by the slice? Seriously I feel like I'm having a stroke or something due to the absurdity of it all

>>95977584
It's *incredibly unlikely* but possible that throwing an axe might help you someday. Also, I suppose it's good cardio, throwing patterns are good conditioning, and any kind of target practice trains your hand eye coordination.

Getting good at chess will only ever be useful if you want to be good at chess.

>>95977463 (OP)
Man, Pasta Wendago's are really something else

Being dumb is fine. I like dumb people.
t. never lost in chess ever

>>95982052
40 grams of bread for 12 rubles. Looks like two or three slices per package. Might be just one store being particularly retarded, I can't find anything similar to this in Moscow

>>95982509
Yeah, it might be or it could be a convenience thing where you only get a bit of bread instead of a whole loaf if you only want a bit for some reason. Still wasteful as shit though.

>>95982536
That's the first thing I thought of. It reminded me of those single slices of cake that tell you just how bad the loneliness crisis actually is.

>>95982683
Eh. The single slices of cake are actually a really fucking good idea since sometimes you just want a single slice of cake.

>>95977611
Well they cant be the smartest person alive if theyre dead, now can they?

>>95982691
I dunno, man. Whenever I buy something like that I can't help but feel like I should be eating it with someone else.

>>95982702
I get that and I do agree that there are some things that just shouldn't really be eaten alone, at the same time though I don't think that single slices of cake are a sign of the lonliness crisis since a slice of cake is a decently common dessert at restaurants. Especially diners.

>>95982440
>Getting good at chess will only ever be useful if you want to be good at chess.
Eh, learning basic techniques and strategies are useful in a holistic sense, but after a certain point, yeah, you're just doing rote memorization.

Oh yeah, paper packaging would be better for something like this. But the oligarchs of Big Oil needs to sell more plastics to make line go up, so they advertised the wonders of plastic see-through packaging to the businesses and stores and now everything is in two or three layers of something that once was dinosaurs.

I think I saw small packages of bread in Japan. Just a few slices. No filler, just bread.
>>95982961
Could be cellulose packaging. Seems to be pretty common on food items.

>>95982683
Cake has been sold in single slices ever since the first Pâtisserie has been open for business.

That you can get individual slices for each of your family members is the whole point of using their service.

>>95977463 (OP)
>Cheatin' bitch

>>95982683
They sell individual so everyone in your group can get their own slice of whatever flavor they want

Except chess isn't a game of intelligence, despite popular belief. It's just about memorizing strategies through experience. That's why you'll see low IQ people who have been playing for years absolutely dominate a Mensa member who has maybe only played a few times in his entire life.

Basically, anyone who thinks chess is an accurate gauge of intellect is a midwit who has fallen for the Hollywood propaganda that always portrays chess as a game for geniuses.

>>95977527
Murder is an acceptable resolution to a disagreement though. After all, you don't have to convince your opponent of the merits of your position if they are dead.

>>95982701
(You)'d need to kill 4 billion people.

Chess has much more to do with how much chess you've played than intelligence at any normal level, and at the highest level it's still mostly how much chess you've played

>>95982702
bro cakes aren't a date food or a party food
they're dessert
you're not "meant" to eat cake with someone else as much are you're "meant" to have dinner with a family.

>>95983041
Bread is basically a novelty in Japan, newfriend.

>>95977463 (OP)
Chess is a game about pattern recognition. They've hooked electrodes up to peoples' brains and seen what parts of the brain are used while playing, Chess uses the same part of the brain as sight puzzles at high level, meaning that it's more about seeing the board and remembering what move is most optimal there. I forget what the game that uses the higher reasoning centers but it wasn't what you'd expect, it was like gin rummy or some stupid shit like that.

>>95983071
>>95983113
I always thought that was a pie thing diners did because pies can be held like that as a dessert. I guess I'll take my single slice of humble pie.
>>95982714
>>95983743
Psychological projection on my part, probably. I always think of birthday cake or wedding cake when I think of cake. Cakes were always sold whole where I was growing up for birthdays, so I just assumed it was "sell to single for markup" marketing.

>>95983849
Did they have people play puzzles in that experiment or against opponents? I would expect most higher reasoning facilities to be used when playing against an opponent, so that kind of surprises me. That kind of suggests that you're playing "against the game" and not the other player, doesn't it? Like solitare.

>>95982683
Single slices of cake are more about decadence and sugar addiction, obviously you cant eat lunch without dessert

>>95983041
Only need two slices to make a sandwich

>>95977463 (OP)
I can't think of any games of logic where losing makes you more dumb than your adversary.

>>95986038
One if you make an open sandwich.
