Now people usually think games are for passing the time. But that’s not always the case, as some games require players to sweat their brains. There are many famous strategic games, but the classic one is chess. If you don’t have a partner or the materials to play, you can always play chess.

So, one podcaster asked Musk to share his views on chess. However, the Tesla co-owner answered, “I was on the school’s chess team, but I find chess a simple game. Frankly, in my opinion. There’s a strategy game called polytopia, which you can get on your phone, which I think is probably the best strategy game.”

Further, Musk also claimed that he used to win most of his chess matches. He shared that he preferred to know more about computers than chess moves. Musk believed, “But you know, I guess when I came to the conclusion that computers will get better than humans by a lot, I didn’t want to spend a massive amount of effort to understand, you know, a zillion sort of knight bishop combinations for sure, two points and game bullshit.”
