- cglee 18y agoIn chess you could have a checkmate without a single capture. Fool's mate, right?
- prospero 18y agoFew stones being captured is usually a sign of skillful players. I don't think the same can be said of fool's mate.
- hugh 18y agoDo you think that the fact that you can have entire games without a single capture, and win by a point or two makes it a more interesting game, or are those two unrelated thoughts?
- Leon 18y agoIt's probably a side effect of being a more interesting game, whatever that means to be more interesting, at least.
