I understand the desire for a theme, but chess is actually very heavy on both tactics and strategy.

Sometimes I just don’t understand The Things You Said.

I have a Simpsons chess set, does that count as a theme?

I just can’t get into the looking-10-moves-ahead business. I can strategize what I’m going to do, and in general if you do this then I do that, but I can’t plan out multi-layered tactics to counter the next 5 successive moves you might make of a possible 300 tactical options available to you.

you do?

Theme, meaning like a setting or a story or something like that, added to make the game not simply abstract gameplay.

like imagining two armies are battling each other?

No, because you’re adding that theme with your imagination alone.

ab·stract
adjective
abˈstrakt,ˈabˌstrakt/

  1. existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.

 
I’m talking about art and story that exists in the game itself.

I.

Don’t go all Trump-supporter on me then and disregard my preference for something that you don’t actually know what it means or seemingly what you’re talking about.

You should know imagination or abstraction is not the same as theme.

Ok, you got me. I officially concede that i do not know what you are talking about, or what it means.

If he wants to, but he never gave a definitive date to resume playing.

Sorry lads - my chess playing days are over for the considerable future; time and energy are in short supply of late 😉

Best of luck to both of you.

Are you saying that I overexplained, or underexplained, or that it should have been obvious I didn’t need to? Because if one thinks chess actually has any more theme than what is slightly pasted on, I beg to differ. Yes it has more theme than othello or mancala, but not much, and you literally could change the theme of chess to anything else and not break immersion in the game. Hence “pasted on.”

I didn’t even read your post. I just saw that you used a dictionary definition in an argument for the nth time.
