Compare Go To Chess
Path: BadHabits · Prev: ComplainingAboutTimeSettings · Next: PlayingThroughLunchAndArrivingLateToClassAndGettingChewedOutByTheOtherTeachers It's a bad habit to compare Go to Chess. When trying to explain what Go is, comparing it to Chess, you don't do honour to the game of Go. When comparing Go to Chess, to show how infinitely much richer the game of Go is, you don't do honour to Chess. --Dieter I think people make this comparison because both games are full of strategy and deep thinking. And chess is just much more popular in most areas. What would you compare it to? JezzBall? meets Othello Sbaguz I totally disagree: I don't understand why it's a bad habit to compare Go to Chess. On the contrary I think it's a very interesting comparison between games with a strong cultural and historical importance for east and west. It's a way to compare east and west way of thinking too, with an excellent philosophical approach. For west players it's also the best way to diffuse Go: a Chess player can often appreciate Go more than other people ( I know about a lot of "conversions"...). Yes, it may be a bad habit if you aren't impartial and you try to elect the best game between them (I refer to the sentence "to show how infinitely much richer the game of Go is": this is very rude, because I can agree, but a Chess player ?...)
