Chess is an isle of sanity in an absurd world...

Pondering about Camus and his Absurdism, about Baudrillard and his Hyper-reality, it seems to me that chess is an isle of sanity in an absurd world, chess per se makes sense, it might be an own world/ dimension for itself, but I guess that is the beauty in it.
