Re: Should Presidents Be able To Spot Three Move Forced Checkmates?
David often accuses me of being the only one in the crowd who misses his point. Since he has raised this point repeatedly on SMP, let me see if I can state it clearly here.
Per DS, analytical abilities of the kind that allow people to do math, science, and now chess problems, are employed with much greater consequence in a much wider range of human activities than most people imagine.
That's David's basic idea. He's been trying to better specify the "analytical abilities" and qualify/quantify the "much greater consequence" and "much wider range" phrases for years now. I don't see that he's made much progress in this OP.
