Chess is like golf exciting to play but for 'some' not too exciting to watch.

There's plenty of room for imagination in chess, but the imaginative moves usually cannot violate the basic rules of chess safety. Learn the basics of chess first, then you can start thinking about imagination.
which would be a good time to quit.
If you think it's boring why do you bother with it? Chess is anything but boring.
you are probably the worst chess player in the world, ofc u think its boring

I've lost more games then i've won, I've made moves most of you would be making fun of me for. is there still room for imagination?

Take anything... painting for example. Lots of creativity. But there are "rules" too (if you want it to look good) and technical skills you have to practice day after day.
The center isn't good because people say so, it's good on its own merits. Sometimes you can ignore it, but you have to learn the rules before you can play with the exceptions. And just like anything, this means the beginning is picking up those, often tedious, technical skills. In chess this mostly involves not giving away pieces for free. For most people to be able to do this consistently takes years of practice. "Moves of dead guys" as you put it can safely be ignored for now.
And if masters were just playing memorized stuff from beginning to end, they wouldn't run out of time in 5 hour games and make errors throughout.

He's been here two days. It's probably the latter case. Give him a little time to get used to the game.
