Chess or go ?
Muttley: Go is a discussion, chess is an argument
jkcx: in an open foyer? i forget
Mpresident: Go is a flowing battle, chess is medieval knights fighting one on one
Muttley: Proper chess can be very beautiful, all the same
jkcx: best comparative i've heard is chess is to sculpture as go is to painting. one pares away, the other builds up to completion
Muttley: well, it is more complex than that, although you reduce in chess you do also build as well
Mpresident: Sculpting with a chisel'
joeie1: nicest?
Muttley: building to harmony, e.g. overprotection co-ordination, centralisation, is very beautiful
