Misha: Hicchan, do you hate games where luck is involved? I dont like games that revolve around luck of the draw, right? That was you, Hicchan~. Hisao: Yeah. Revolving around luck isnt the same as just having luck involved, though. I dont hate games just for having an element of luck. Most games have an element of luck to them anyway. It is what keeps them interesting. I think a game where you know from the beginning how far you can go is boring. Then it is not a game, isnt it? Just going through motions. For a game where you have little to no control, I dont think I could get into something like that. Shizune: I see. That girl isnt very good at Chess. Chess is a formulaic game, so it is a game that isnt suited for her. There was nothing formulaic about her. Someone who plays Chess like that, looking only at the next piece so shallowly cant be called a serious Chess player. Anyone who loves Chess to the point where their eyes sparkle like that when they see a chessboard would be the kind of person who would study the game. If you study it casually, you can learn to see at least two moves ahead even against pros. Why would someone who loves the game so much, with that enthusiasm, know so little about it? Even less than someone with just a passing interest in it? Her feelings are real but her feelings for the game arent real. Do you understand, Hicchan~? There is no luck in Chess! It is very important to realize that. Luck in games is good because it gives everyone a chance. Just enough to matter, but not so much that skill is penalized. Chess is boring because it is not a game; to me, it seems like formulas. Hanako isnt the kind of person who would love something like that either. - From Katawa Shoujo (Scene: Advanced Game Theory)
