How dare you! HOW DARE YOU, SIR!
Chess is an ancient and noble game. It is subtle and complex. It requires dedication, intelligence, and hard work to become even modestly proficient at the game. The game is never "mastered," even with a lifetime of study.
I have never been so offended. I demand an apology, to me, to all admirers of the game, and to the game itself. 1
You’re right. That was a horrific insult to chess. I’m sorry.
