I just don't see the beauty in chess. It's got a lot of unjustifiable, inherent complexity. Different pieces with different rules under different conditions. You wouldn't expect multiple designers to converge, or discover, that game. It even has cultural elements embedded.
Whereas Go is nearly as simple as possible, yet much deeper. It's easy to imagine different designers coming to the same set of rules.
- ludamad 11y agoSure, the rules aren't beautiful, the theory that's entirely emergent is.
- V-2 11y agoWhile it's obviously true that rules of chess are more complex, I can't see what it has to do with beauty or the lack thereof. It's very unlikely that different writers would independently come up with "War and Peace", does it make it less of a masterpiece?
