I guess it depends on how you define utility.
The top 10 chess players are all millionaires. Hundreds of people make a full-time living from nothing but chess.
Hikaru is worth over $50M and Magnus is on the verge of selling his company for $80M based in large part on his brand as the #1 player.
Iām an idiot but here my two cents utility isnāt all that is important why do we watch TV. Or like art. I also health matters more than utilities. Iām here to. Un stupid my self. And these things do help with that
See donst feel good when the whole form gangs up on you
How? maybe you have advice on how to reach at least master level from begginer
youĀ“re sooooo wrong
Nigel Short, used to say similar to that. Chess ability and IQ have no correlation. I donāt personally believe in IQ but I think the point still stands.
Magnus Carlsen, says he used to think chess was creative, but nowadays he since realized its much more about pattern recognition and memorization.
So, now we know what it isnāt. But we arenāt sure exactly what it is.
