MODERATORS
what, because the board and pieces look nice sometimes? you can be a notation sicko and play without those.
No, because of its gameplay design, which was an act of creation requiring aesthetic decisions.
chess was ~~devolved~~ developed by multiple people from different cultures over centuries. There's no distinct "act of creation" like chess bob ross doing happy little (bong)clouds, at most you get some committees agreeing to formalize things people were already doing.
