Many people like to compare war to a game of chess.
It could be Go, checkers, chess, shogi, Gomoku, or Western chess. In short, apart from the thrilling and fast-paced game of Ludo, war can almost be compared to any type of chess without feeling awkward.
There are mainly two reasons.
First of all, many games, including war, differ greatly from each other, but the most representative and strategic among them are board games. So whether it's war, basketball, soccer, or other sports events, as long as the number of participants is slightly larger, in other words, having enough 'pieces,' makes it eligible to be likened to chess.
Secondly, for some unknown reason, people seem to think that using chess to describe something appears very fashionable, with chess and Go being the most representative.
In summary, using board games as examples for war is well-received both in The Realm of Innocence and the Real World, and indeed, it is simple and straightforward to explain.
