Playing Chess In The Context Of Gambling And Rationale Behind It
I know there isn’t any wrong according moral values with playing chess.
But I read in a book of a prominent scholar that in chess we’ve to trick the opposition to win and that’s why it’s haram.
I came here to know if there’s any hidden perspective about chess which I am missing that makes it haram ?
And if it’s halal, can someone participate in tournaments where there’s a prize money for chess winners or will it come in gambling?
Like the defination of gambling is gaining someone else’s money by immoral means.
How will we define immoral means ?
Thank you
