Chess
   

Chess is a game which - in European and North-American countries - is quite often used as a reference to explain the difference between go and chess.

Since Sensei's focus is go, Sensei's chess entry is rather short. Please follow the links given below if you are looking for more information about chess.

See also the entries on shogi (Japanese chess) and xiangqi (Chinese chess).

There doesn't seem to be a wiki site like SL for chess.


Discussion about Chess

Charles: On the other hand it is argued here at Compare Go To Chess that this is a bad habit. Which will indeed not stop it happening. There is a gap between the idea that chess players may well find go interesting (true), and that they are ready to become converts to go if given a few paragraphs of information about it by some go player keen to proselytise (which is definitely not true). This has the consequence that any comparisons made need to be made with great sensitivity, since crude advertising of go's undoubted merits will be counter-productive. For example, there may not be a chess wiki but that implies nothing, does it?
