Chess is an ancient game. Not everyone knows its rules. Not everyone feels the intricacies of the game. Starting the game is like a military battle, but on black and white cells.
When you play cards, you are not considered a serious person, when you start the game with a horse, you are a purposeful person with a practical coordinate system in your head.
I may be wrong, but for me chess will always be the most intelligent and refined game of all time
