Is chess a wargame? Anonymous 10/06/2023 (Fri) 21:01:55 Id: a164cd No. 1046
A very simple question. Does chess technically count as a wargame? I think it does, Its not like any other wargame but you do have 2 armies facing off against each other, only instead of controlling territory or wiping the other guy out you are just supposed to kill the king. I think it counts.

>>1046 That's very interesting, OP. I suppose chess could count as a wargame, though that's only because of the loose aesthetic of ancient warfare. You could easily change the piece names and the war connection would be much less obvious. But ultimately yes, I do think it counts. So, the King is a beta who eats absolute shit while the Queen is the most powerful piece. What do you think that relationship is like?

>>1172 Of course it's a wargame, it is fundamentally a game of tactics. Now that being said, i have played another board game called uh the hound and the fox? I dont know. And that had a similar intent in that it taught thinking, but had an animalistic hunting analogy going on.
