Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it’s waaaay exaggerated in movies. I’m a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.
The best you can do is apparently lose to a robot.
Oh yea? We do chess shaming now? Did you know that many people have a proper disease and can’t play chess too well? Do you think it’s fair to mock them like this? Look it up on google, it’s called “having a life”, very debilitating.
