Chess is a solved game. There's no glory in it.

You gotta fight the Chinese.

True, but could you or I still get to grandmaster elo in a short period of time?

Spoiler alert: you might, I couldn’t

And solved or not the former best chess player in the world recently still lost to a 19yr old and had a mini temper tantrum over it:

(Flip that table, Francis. Er I mean Magnus)

waste of time, being good at chess is a disability/nostalgia thing like baseball, the manual transmission..etc

4x strategy computer games have been a thing for like 40 years now, peaking with Eve Online.

Magnus is good at chess, i'd be way more impressed if he could lead a fleet or a empire in Eve though

where the board pieces are other human beings, leadership skills are needed, and the pieces and board size is orders of magnitude bigger and more complex.

Explain. I fully intended to get that going when it launched but I just couldn't muster it.

Did they pull the plug or was there drama?

No it was fantastic. Easily the best version of WoW I've ever played. Perfect for dad life, but could also still min/max and stand out.

They recently announced no more development / content. Pushing people to MoP classic (I won't be going) with free 85 boost if you kill the first boss in Scarlet Enclave.
