Forums - Gaming - Do you consider anyone less than a Master Chess player (2200 ranking or higher) to be a core gamer?

To fit in with the adolecent and childish threads that seem to be plaguing the forums lately, I've added in my own two bits.

Since a chess master (2200 ranking or higher) is the ultimate gamer, being both incredibly good as well as proficient with the game in all matter of media (a chess board, as well as computer/console/smartphone/tablet) is everyone else just casual compared to a chess master?

Also, only chess masters with a ranking of 2200 or higher are permitted to reply to this thread.

Please post your ranking linked to an official ranking site for confirmation.

I'm only 1470, haven't played chess in years.



Puhleeze! Chess is unbalanced as fuck! White team has a major advantage in going first, Queens are OP, people spam knights, and nobody ever got around to fixing the glitch where pawns become other classes. I'll admit, the map is decently balanced, but there's only one of them. And 1 vs. 1 multiplayer? What is this, 1991?



i am 1600 in LoL is that good enough



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

There hasn't been a patch in about 500 years either.

This dude is the corest of the core:



they are masters and not the core, the core is below the masters. the best starcraft players are also masters for me and not only core gamers.
