I guess I’m a bit confused what is meant by battle of wits, is it supposed to mean, like two super geniuses going at each other? Or?

Because there are 7 year olds that would wipe the floor with me in chess, but get absolutely sent into the shadow realm in every other category mental or physical lol

Chess is a game and being good at it, maybe means you are disciplined? Patient? But intelligent, not really, not any more than any other average person or gamer.
