@TGBM95 I'm not sure I understand you, I'm sorry I'm not clear to you. Hopefully I'm clear to others.
@volitionwill Well the way you're going on about the beauty of chess, but at the same time saying titles are meaningless is a bit... contradictory. If chess is a beautiful game, then those who play it at a higher standard should be recognized, no?
@TGBM95 No, what I'm trying to say is that since chess is a beautiful game, the beginner can get as much pleasure from it as can a master. We play chess for the pleasure we get from the beauty inherent in it, not for any other reason.
@volitionwill So it's a case of it's not about winning, it's the taking part the counts?
@TGBM95 It's the taking part as long as you are taking part in the right way; remember what chess is.
@volitionwill and what is this "right way"?
@TGBM95 Precisely taking part with a susceptibility to experience the inherent beauty in it.
@volitionwill You can see why it's starting to sound like an excuse now, right?
@TGBM95 I'm sorry, I don't...
