What's deeper ? Chess or Mathematics

We know that both chess and mathematics are a deep ocean of patterns and knowledge.

Which in your opinions is deeper?

Chess

In my opinion, it's math because chess has a mathematical limit although I don't know which is harder to learn if you want to learn to actually make the best moves/correct calculi

As someone who teaches chess, I can see how hard it is to learn chess and actually get to the point where you can really play well. Math is a lot easier to learn at first imo. With math, it kind of all goes together. You build your foundation on basic math and it just gets more advanced. In chess, you learn openings, tactics, endgames, etc. And you build by learning sooo man various lines and theory, doing tons of puzzles, playing tons of games, you get the idea. And it ultimately depends on how well you can calculate in chess

Hmmm.

Would you compare a chess game to a math exam? Where the higher the rating the more you have to learn before?

IMHO, chess is just what it is-a game. A wonderful one at that. Math transcends all scientific thought and human intelligence limitations. As our exploration of the known universe expands, math seems to deepen our understanding. Btw, I spent an entire day yesterday not using the algebra I was guaranteed I would use everyday by my algebra teacher so long ago. I did however play chess. 

So you think Math is deeper?

Yes, I do.

I’m certainly not an expert in either category mind you, just a humble opinion.

As someone who study major in math and somewhat good at chess, I can that chess is nothing compared to math. Mathematic is super broad, most parts of it aren't known and comprehensible for most human. Chess is a game that based on a set of rules, everything that based on a particular set of rules is a part of math. Chess itself or anything similar can be considered as a part of mathematics, a miniscule part of it.

Hmm good to hear it from a studier in both categories

     Chess is limited to problems concerning 32 pieces on 64 squares. Math is infinite, used to examine everything in the universe.

Chess is a complex and difficult board game, no doubt.

But mathematics can be endlessly complex.

Consider the mind-boggling mixture of of geometry, algebra, and calculus that physicists use to describe the workings of reality, for example.

And then when you start applying those equations to theoretical realms, like quantum physics, you're wrestling with monstrous equations that you might spend an entire lifetime struggling with, only to never find a satisfying answer . . .

This.

Mathematics for sure.
