## Resource

Elon Musk ignited a social media firestorm by calling chess “too simple” and predicting computers will eventually “solve” it — sparking a playful, heated rebuttal from Chess.com that called his critique a “skill issue,” highlighting moves like castling and en passant as proof of the game’s depth. The back-and-forth has drawn widespread attention, revealing a long-running tension between Musk and the chess community over the game’s complexity — and whether AI’s dominance will ever diminish its human appeal.
