Agree or disagree? The author has pointed out that Chess is deterministic, so there is an optimal, solved move to win every time. It feels more a game of memory, rather than strategy. Stochastic games help to overcome this. But many games of chance are troubled with too much randomness defeating good strategy play intrinsic to the game or very narrow skill pigeon-holed to pick a particular strategy built into the game.
- swalls 4y agoAgreed that Chess is mostly about memorization, even at a high level - opening theory has only gotten deeper with the invention of computer analysis. If you're looking for a game that fits that criteria (deterministic but strategic), Go is probably the answer. The possibility space expands so rapidly due to the size of the board that you just can't have deep memorization beyond a few moves.
