I appreciate all of these super in depth responses, but man does it validate my decision to never invest any time into chess lmao.

Well as with everything, there is the surface level and the deep rabbit hole. We have only ventured a bit in the rabbit hole. I think enjoyment of chess at any level is possible, but it is definitely not for everyone.

It’s just very amusing from the outside to observe a fervent and dedicated community insisting a thousands of years old game’s wonky design choices make sense for a dozen different reasons. Gamers really never change.
