[QUOTE="J_B_, post: 75942430, member: 428251"] Maybe my reply was too snarky. A quick search of dictionary definitions of [URL='https://www.dictionary.com/browse/intelligence']intelligence[/URL] shows no mention of speed. If you find otherwise, please share. Regardless, IMO, the person who invents a glass boat quickly is not smarter than the person who takes their time to invent a steel boat. Maybe. I would guess the time constraint entered the rules as a matter of practicality rather than a way to privilege some over others. I don't recall it being mentioned [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2aCK1yT8Ms']here[/URL] (love The History Guy), and it's a humorous coincidence that I watched this video given the current conversation. You will see that though the basic concepts have remained the same, the specific rules of chess have changed drastically over time. I'm terrible at timed contests, so maybe it's a personal bias. Though that wouldn't help me in chess. I'm terrible at chess even without time constraints. Given my father-in-law was ranked in chess, it was never anything but awkward and humiliating to play. I'm very familiar with baseball & basketball, and the rules for those games have also changed drastically over time. In fact, so much in baseball that there is now a class of games called "stickball" games that includes all the different variations (cricket being one of the best known alternatives). I believe the same is true of football, such that we now have soccer, rugby, Canadian football, etc. [/QUOTE]
