Not moral, just values. The memes reflect different values. The first values ease, having fun, and a mild taste of domination. The second values sympathy, achievement, progress, and a mild taste of irony. (The irony comes from the fact that the 300 player is blundering and thatâs why they lose, and so the speaker feels sorry for them, but when the 1400 player blunders itâs a âyay I get the draw!â.)
Note that neither of those memes make a statement about what is right or wrong about any of the values that they display, so itâs not really a statement of morals. Nor am I criticizing Hansâ values by posting my meme, Iâm just saying my experience is different and I have different values. Thatâs it.
Dude, this is just chess and chess memes, heh? I donât think this is an area we need to spiritually overthink and declare that only one personal set of values or reasons to play is valid. Chess is chess, and the reasons that people play are as vast as the people who play the game.
