Is chess like math?

In the sense here is notching interesting to discuss.
Like in math we don't do discussion about math problem and if we do, we just get solutions. Here isn't even a lot of topics to even talk about. Like what endgames?
But chess is rigorous. Here is one best move and here is no debate about that, chess celebrities, just a analizing the game. and topics unrelated to chess. Studing endgames, middlegame, openings? Neither here, proably advice form GM, with cannot be questioned. And just reading 1000000 course on that. Unless mixed with something, here is notching to talk about.

Okay, scrap that with math.
Math is generaly mixed with other scientific things.
And has massive variety of topics, so wrong with that.

chess is a math

chess is a science, and sciences could be math.

That's absolutly incorrect, notching about core gameplay involves about numbers (unless material amount but league of legends would be also math in that definition)
Science is about study of enviorment. Chess is a broad game.

Yes and no. It depends on what like Math we are talking about. One of the features of Math I know is we try to model and determine what might happen if we push things to the limit. There is no such thing in chess. In Math there are such things as axiom. Probably that part has some similarity with chess but totally not the same. The similarity I find about Math and chess is I like both and most of my friends suck at both lol.

I don't think axioms are unique and regonized as something what defines as math. It is techinally a big part of it. But what makes stands out. Is being concentrated purely on quanitiy manipulation and define a purpose for that quanity or defintion for that quanitiy.

It seems to me that there are major differences between chess and math, but there are a few notable similarities:
(1) Certain basic facts should be known.
(2) Reasons for some facts can be worth knowing.
(3) Trial and error is important.
(4) Study is important.
(5) Practice is important.
(6) It is important to identify mistakes and learn how to avoid them.
(7) Mathematical research (like chess) values exploration of the unknown.

And do you see that in chess?

These things you listed are also true on other things besides chess and Math.

Chess use algebra and algebra is math search it on any where.
