So, my father is a very strong INTJ. I've played him countless times at chess and never once have I beat him. Even in the very rare occasion that I think I got him, he manages to pull off a stalemate with his king. Im not half bad and he never plays chess besides that. Also, I've never won an argument with my father because he can always think of everything Im going to say before I say it :/

Should i attribute these abilities to INTJ powerssssss? And if so, what other things are you guys good at?

I think you need more experience, in chess at least.

My brother is an INTJ and he does have super chess powers (I can't speak for all INTJs though). He has been able to beat adults in chess since the age of five... He hasn't played for years though, so he might have lost some of his ability.

Well, as others might have stereotyped us INTJs to be so good at playing chess, I guess it's because of our superb analytical skills and a "two-moves ahead" thinking that make us good chess players. But chess isn't only what should an INTJ be good at.

I play chess occasionally. Also, when I'm joining our school's sportsfest, I had my share of wins and losses. Aside from being a chess player, I considered myself good at academics, I've been a consistent honor student since my grade school years. My technical skills in using computers and some equipment/machines are quite satisfactory, to say the least. That's an overview (somehow) of my "good" skills being an INTJ.

The best chess players I know are Ne dominant, two ENTP's and an ENFP. They're by far superior to me at chess. Ne is a lot more random and see's chances appear letting them think on the fly more than an INTJ.

You need to abuse the Ne to put your father off if you want to win Chess and debate. The NiTe portion of him makes it very hard for him to adapt to situations that are not as he predicted them and chances are that you perhaps play in a way that makes it's easy for him to abuse the fact that he can plan ahead longer in time than you.

Remember that his intuition is subjective and yours objective. You need to read him rather than the board in order to achieve the desirable result. You need to be able to see what he wants to do (or what he thinks you will do) and you will do completely opposite. Prod the rules and boundaries of what's accepted (he might call you a cheater though ) and eventually you will put him off balance.

Also, if you're anything into video and computer games I highly recommend that you watch the player IdrA when he streams his games to get an idea of how INTJs think in terms of strategy. Notice how IdrA ALWAYS complain about that poor players cannot be read because they do not abide by the rules (also remember whose rules).

Don't accept the plans your father makes when he plays Chess as a fact but see other possibilities as well. And yes, you probably need to get better at Chess to be able to tell all move combinations.

I think NPs are capable of being superior to NJs in Chess but only if you don't play by the NJ's rules but play by your own rules. If you let the NJs control the flow of the game though, you'll definitely lose.

I never won a game of chess in my life and I've played a large variety of people.
But tbh, I rarely strategize when playing. I just move the pieces around randomly and hope I win. It doesn't work. :P

Maybe one day I'll beat the computer.

Now that I think of it, I have a ENFP friend who is amazing at chess. She was the only girl on the school's chess team.

I so want to troll this but y'all are being serious so I'll behave.

It's just that every time I look at the title I see a word other than 'chess.'

Carry on.

Haha not fair, now you are going to make me lose lols

But my Ni is aimed at building a subjective profile of the player in question, but how would you read concurrent plans that are executed? You know our Ni isn't rigid though the damage you could do to it is making us lose the lead objective that anchors all our plans since we will become stressed when it false apart. Haha Se takes over afterwards

[Fallen Nocturne]

I'm not great at Chess, I'll be honest. I tend to be too quick to let Intuition take over and make what is often quite a stupid move.

I've been playing a lot of Chess Titans recently while listening to 'Slow it Down' in order to overcome this! I don't like the way it counts a draw if you force the computer into a place where it can only move into a checkmate situation. That's not a draw, that's me being extremely brilliant and the computer being a bad loser.
