Chess is art


Chess is art. Art may be defined as the conscious use of skill and creative imagination to create works of beauty. Rather than using a physica media like canvassor clay to express ideas, the beauty of chess is seen when famous games are replayed, and elegant sequences of moves reveal strategies that have aesthetic qualities.
