Why do they never play actually difficult games like Shogi or Go?

A lot of western moviegoers aren't really familiar with those games. Besides chess may not be a hard game to learn but it is a hard one to master. Go is pretty much the exact opposite.

>Go is pretty much the exact opposite
what? go rules are even simplier, and the number of combinations larger
it's pretty hard to be just a decent go player

How will you ever compete?

What's worse is when the chess part of the metaphor makes no sense, even to an absolute amateur who'd played maybe 20 games of chess.

Read one book where a military genius basically said, of the chess game, 'the purpouse of a sacrifice is not always to gain a tactical advantage, but often to unsettle, panic and shock your opponent, and to radicallly change the character of the game.'

Like, a)in a casual game you have practically infinite time to examine the situation, you can't really make your opponent scared of you with a sacrifice because they can take their sweet time and damn near make sure they know what your options are, and b)changing the character of the game is pointless if it's not in your favour. And this was an author who's usually quite good.

Same guy said 'if you overthink things you'll paralyse yourself into inaction, be daring and don't think things through to an inneficient extent.' Again, it made perfect sense as a metaphor for fighting a war, but chess is all about being absurdly careful and conservative and taking your time.

Well if there's even a situation where there are several players in and there are cards in the table for royal flush it's not exactly an anomaly that several players have great hands.

I was thinking about the scene in Maverick where they play regular 5 card draw.

I thought everyone would think about Casino Royale when talking about poker draws like that. But yeah, that's obviously much more unlikely and much sillier writing.

take the "red" pieces and build up a coordinated defense and just wait till the black Kang pieces start jumping each other and making a mess of that side of the board and then take over.

Now that I think of it that wasn't the worst of it. Now the game was a chess analogue so it took some guesswork, but here's what I think happened at one point to demonstrate the power of sacrificing pieces. The genius moves a piece forward to where it can obviously be taken. His opponent takes it. He makes his spiel about sacrifice, then moves a rook across the board to take the piece that took the sacrifice piece. He is portrayed as super smart for this, for laying a 2 turn trap to get his opponent to take a piece to move into the attack line of his rook. That is a move that could never work past someone's third game of chess but this proves he's a tactical genius.

It's the Emperor from 40K by the way.
