Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Mid-game in chess is where creative thinking and employing tactics to carry out a strategy comes into play, openings and end game are the rote recognition parts.

All games could be simplified down to pattern recognition at the high level so I don't think that's really a fair critique.
