All things point out that chess is a purely strategic game , with objective evaluations . Yes , humans can blunder and sometimes be affected psychologically against an opponent , but that does not apply to the actual chess positions . Each chess position has an objective evaluation . period . No part of luck , psychology can change the objective truth of a chess position . <| sep |> This is massive mistake on the players part , not much to be salty about . Worst are rips that are beyond your control . <| sep |> I don ' t think it excuses russian imperialism , just seeks to explain the reasons behind it . to me , it sounds like you have a particular bone to pick with this video <| sep |> you have less control in real life football as you rely on team mates ? ???????
