Why do you all like videogames so much?

[meijak]

Chess is a much simpler game
Memorizing opening theory is not that hard
You can even skip some theory by just not playing an opening, I don't have to memorize the Ruy Lopez because I always the Petrov defence against 2. Nf3, I don't have to memorize the Scotch because, again, I always play the Petrov agaisnt 2. Nf3

Blud, my dad has like 3 bookshelves full of some obscure USSR chess books that he's scanning and translating. You're like baby elo, so your opinion is questionable at best. While it's true that you shouldn't learn more than a few there are a lot of them and all of them are useful depending on the oponent etc etc.

 

[Terrorbyte]

They're fun.

 

[alonso]

Having variety can be fun, I like absurd games that are somewhat tell you all there is to know about the game

 

[Ytsuken]

according to the infomation in the wiki page it might be even simpler then chess

k, I read it, it's not even a game, you don't play it, you just watch stuff move, that's discarded

 

[UendeligKamp]

Dota is fun when competing at high levels
Eu4 is cool too
gaming used to be really engaging for me but its not anymore my passion for it has burned out and there is no more kindling left
I dont get your chess obsession feel like its kinda boring since its a game thats been pretty much figured out already.
It is cool that you are really into it doe.

I will never play the Ruy Lopez

 

[Fagon]

No, like with videogames it's very complex, it's real time

Lots of games aren't.

Play caro-kahn and tell me the thrembillion autistic variations are less complicated than just pointing your fucking cursor at someones head and clicking lmb.

 

[Ytsuken]

pretty much figured out.

That's not true, only basic endgames have been figured out competely, chess engines will keep on advancing, and people are not gonna be able to memorize every top engine move
Besides, there's always Chess960, or FIDE culd invent a new rule

At my level you can just beat the Caro Kann by playing 2.Nf3, caro kann newbs only study the exchange and d4 Nc3
