the greatest gamers of all time

i think all competitive games need some kind of mechanical skill or the game is too easy, whether that be APM, aiming, etc.

Chess doesn't need mechanical skill.

And nor do a ton of other games - just about any kind of turn-based game actually (which includes chess, of course). You just play too many action games, Undead :P

you're right, it doesn't. it is also very boring to watch unless you have a passion for it. games with an element of mechanical skill are more enjoyable to watch and have a higher skill cap. take soccer or starcraft for example.

willful ignorance.
