Chess is a boring game about memorizing patterns.
- vecter 5y agoAlthough there is a lot of memorization required, especially at top-level play (opening theory and your opponent’s preference, as well as preparation), the most beautiful aspects of chess are brilliancies involving quiet positional moves or explosive piece sacrifices that seem unbelievable at first. Search for “Stockfish NNUE sacrifice” on YouTube to see examples, or the AlphaZero vs. Stockfish playlist on chess.com’s YouTube channel.
