>>505810668>>505815980i dropped my online credentials down in a thread in round 1 because the game that ding played was incredibly impressive; incredibly clean, simple, and proper "solved" chess. he played a normal opening, spent time and found the main idea, got an advantage, reconsolidated, and then brought his niggas out and ended the opponent, entire game was played with relative ease, all with the confident composure and practical/tactical prowess and lethality that an ideal general of the armies should possess. i might be overstating it, but thats what i saw. how he performed after did not really matter to me because i was happy enough with the potential he showed me. i will say that what happens physically or on the board in chess is null, true chess is a metaphysical battle of spirits, between the players. the board is just a throwaway allegorical gimmick (symbolically, the king (players alter ego) is never captured/killed, players shake hands and the board is reset with the two kings placed in the middle, and another game is pending). that being said, current functional reality is a chess board itself with specified boundaries (games always have this trait) and we are living in essentially a chess game from the POV of anything outside of this fractal (our "selves" included). there is no real malevolence though, you simply forgot.
my credentials once more because 3+0 is only real chess mode (if no one theory whores).
